, we set sail with a north-north-east wind ; soundings fell from thirteen to nine fathoms, for we had stretched too far westward. We made only one league a-head way, and then anchored at eight a. M. In five fathoms, with a mud bottom. We got under sail again at two p. M. The wind shifted to south-south-east and south- west. We skirted Lintin a league off shore to the westward, with ten to fifteen fathoms in a mud bottom. Our Chinese pilots wished to have steered east of Lintin if the wind had k...ept north. We anchored at night in six and a half fathoms, in a fine sandy bottom. Lintin bore south-south-east, two leagues off, and the mouth of the Tiger river bore north-north-west, six leagues off. We here saw white porpoises. The tides ran north-north-east and south-south- west. 114 THE JOURNAL OF THE FIRST The 30th, at six a. M. , we weighed anchor with the wind north-north-east.
