At Dusk in the Evening, I fetched in with the Eastermost Isles that form the Passage into Anamoka, and Spent the remaining part of the day plying to Windward, in the Course of which I only gained 10 Miles.
I would have looked for a Passage to Anamoka between these Isles, and South, but failing in such an Attempt and the regular Trade Wind had come on upon me, it would have rendered our situation hazardous. As this knowledge therefore can only with propriety b[e] gained by exploring it from the Westward, it is a Circumstance that must rest with Some future Navigator.
These Islands are low and Covered with Wood, connected by Coral Reefs on which the Sea breaks tremendously high.
