On the 31st, at noon, the S. orS.W. point of the i^and bore N. 62"" East, distant four leagues. This forms the N. W. point of what I call Bougain- ville's Passage ; the N. E. point, at this time, bore N. 85^ East, and the N. W. end of MollicoUo from S. 54"^ East to S. 72° East. Latitude observed, 15^ 4*5' S. In the afternoon, in stretching to the east, we weathered the S. W. point of the island, from which the coast trends east northerly. It is low, and seemed to form some creeks or coves ; and..., as we got farther into the passage, we perceived some small low isles lying along it, which seemed to extend behind St. Bartholomew Island. Having now finished the survey of the whole ar- chipelago, the season of the year made it necessary for me to return to the south, while I had yet some time left to explore any land I might meet with between .this and New Zealand ; where I intended to touchy that I might refresh my people, and recruit our stock of wood and water for another southern course.
