After
After a flay of two or three days, we left Savoo, and, on the ill of October,
in the morning, difcovered Java and Prince’s Iflands. We directed our courfe
through the Straits of Sundy; and, in the afternoon, pafied a fmall iiland, upon
which we faw a very high hill, of a conical figure, and feveral fmall ones. This,
is called the Ifle of Crocata : We faw alfo Pepper-Point. In the night, the weather
was fqually, and we had rain, with thunder and lightening. By our reckoning
we found that Java Head is about 14° 22' to tne weft of Timor. We
had a briik trade-wind from the S. E. and very near over-ihot the Straits j but not
finding land, we hauled to the eaftward, and luckily got into .the Straits to the
leeward of Prince’s Iiland. Our latitude, at noon, was 6° 9'. ■
On the 2d, we failed up as far as Angor Point, where we were becalmed, and
waited for the current, which fets to the fouth till the monfoon fhifts. We faw two
indiamen at anchor in Angor Bay. This was a pleafing fight; and, being impatient
to hear news from England, the pinnace was hoifted out, and fome of our
people went on board of them, who learned that the Swallow had arrived fafe in
the Engliih channel j that frefh difturbances had arifen at home, in refpeCt to the
minifters, and in America on account of taxes j that the flame of war was like to
break out j that the Ruffians, Poles, and Turks, were already embroiled in a war;
and that the Ruffians had made fome vigorous.attacks upon the Turks both by
fea and land. We fent the boat on fhore for fome plantains and cocoa-nuts j and,
in the evening, having a gentle breeze, we weighed anchor, and flood through
between Angor Point and the oppofite fhore, and paft Keita Iiland. The land of
Sumatra feemed very near, and appeared to be exceeding high. We had alfo a
more diftinCt view of Java, which was woody, and very high, particularly Bantam-
hill, which is to be feen at a great diftance.
On the 3d, we got up near to Bantam Point, or Point St. Nicholas, where we
were becalmed, and dropped anchor. We faw a Chinefe veflel pafs along the
Straits, with Chinefe colours flying, which were white, and had a broad border,
partly blue and partly black: in the middle of it feveral Chinefe characters* and a
ftar, which were painted of the latter colour. She had one mail j an oblong
fquare fail, a bamboo yard, and an awning, or houfe, in- the middje.
