The Land between Lassam & the Devils Clip forms in the High hills and covered with Wood. Between these two places are Rambang & Javana lying in the Cod of a Bay. At each place is a Dutch resident.
The Devils Clip is a small high rock covered with Trees and off it, to the N.W. is another small Island called the Cum of Java between which is a safe and Commodious passage of near 8 Leags. with deep Water and safe Soundings towards the Main as I am informed.
It is to be remarked that the Season now begins to Shift; for the Pilot assures me they have not had rain before for 6 Months this is also within 2 Days of the Equinox.
