poffible to avoid miftakes of this kind, feveral of us contrived,
at different times, to get from them as-many words as we
could, and having noted them down, compared our lifts 5
fhofe which were the fame in all, and which, according to
every one’s account, fignified the fame thing, we ventured to
record, with a very few others* which, from the fimplicity
of the fubjeft, and the eafe of expreffing our queftion with
plainnefs and precifion by a fign, have acquired equal authority.

■ I fhall now quit this country, with a few obfervations relative
to the currents and tides upon the coaft. From latitude
32°, and fomewhat higher, down to Sandy Cape, in
latitude 240 46', we conftantly found a current fetting to the
fouthward, at the rate of about ten or fifteen miles a day,
being more or lefs, according to our diftance from the land,
for it always ran with more force in fhore than in the offing;
but I could never fatisfy myfelf whether the flood-tide came
from the fouthward, the eaftward, or the northward: I inclined
to the opinion that it came from the fouth-eaft, but
the firft time we anchored off the coaft, which was in latitude
240 30', about ten leagues to the fouth eaft of Buftard Bay, I
found it come from the north weft ; on the contrary, thirty
leagues farther to the north weft, on the fouth fide of Keppel
Bay, I found that it came from the eaft, and at the northern
part of that Bay it came from the northward, but with a
much flower motion than it had come from the eaft: on the
eaft fide of the Bay of Inlets, it fet ftrongly to the weftward,
as far as the opening of Broad Sound ; but on the north fide
of that Sound, it came with a very flow motion from the
north weft; and when we lay at anchor before Repulfe Bay,
