Remarks.
—+——————————————————————————————————————+
82|This and the following were observed towards sunset; they exhibit a |
|considerable degree of refraction above what is usual. The sights on this |
|morning in the same place gave upwards of 1' greater dip. |
83|All other circumstances the same as in No. 82. |
84|Fresh breeze from SE, with a remarkably clear sky. The horizon uncommonly |
|sharp. |
85|Wind moderate from WNW. Clear weather. |
86|All other circumstances the same as in No. 85. Parts of the horizon |
|observed SSW and NNE. |
87|Parts of the horizon observed WNW and ESE. |
88|The morning has been exceedingly hot before the breezes set in from sea at |
|11 A.M. |
89|All other circumstances the same as in No. 89. |
90|After a very hot day. |
91|Parts of the horizon observed ESE and WNW. See further remarks under 93. |
|Instruments readjusted. |
92|Parts of the horizon observed NE and SW. All other circumstances as in No. |
|91. |
93|Parts of the horizon observed SSE and NNW. These three observations (Nos. |
|91, 92, and 93) were made under the most favourable circumstances, and may |
|be considered as shewing the accuracy which the instrument is capable of |
|attaining. The sea was so perfectly smooth, that not the slightest motion |
|could be detected. The horizon at all the parts observed was sharp, and |
|better defined than I recollect to have seen it; and, what is not often the |
|case, the opposite parts were alike in strength of light &c. The day has |
|been hot, but not close, with a light breeze from the Southward. The dip is |
|very great, but the observations were made with such care, that there can |
|be no doubt of their accuracy. |
94|There had been a light breeze from the North in the morning, but for an |
a)|hour before these sights were taken it had been calm. |
94|Nearly the same place as No. 94(a); but the other circumstances were |
b)|changed, as the sea breeze at NW had set in about a quarter of an hour, |
|whereas in the last instance it was calm. The above angles were taken with |
|great care. The horizon sharp. Parts of the horizon observed NW and SE. |

This swell, which was not high, produced an obvious | |effect on the dip angle, as observed, the two horizons alternately | |separating and overlapping; this change was however so slight that I have | |not been able to measure it. | 96|All other circumstances as in Nov. 95. Parts of the horizon observed NE | |and SW. | 97|During the night there has been a light breeze from the East; at this | |moment it is freshening up a little. The atmosphere is clear; horizon | |sharp; a long low swell from SW, as yesterday. | 98|It has been calm, or nearly so, during the night; occasionally a light air | |from SE and S. All circumstances favorable. | 99|During the night there has been a light wind from SW. The weather is more | |hazy than when the wind was from the Eastward, and the horizon not so | |distinctly marked; but the above sights are good. There is still a swell | |from SW, which causes some little uncertainty as to the exact moment of | |taking the angle. | 100|In the night there has been a light breeze from W by S. Weather hazy; but | |the horizon sharper than yesterday morning. | 101|During the night almost calm; just now a light air from the NE. Parts of | |the horizon observed NE and SW. | 102|Fine fair clear weather, but with so high a swell as to render the | |observation difficult. Wind light from N, after having been blowing fresh. | 103|Light breezes from the North-eastward; smooth water, and a clear cool air; | |hazy about the land. The distance from the South cost of Africa was about | |8 or 9 leagues. All circumstances seem favourable. No current; we have | |probably been too near shore for it. | 104|Light breeze from the SW, with a long swell. Hazy weather. The wind has | |been from the West for 24 hours; at first blowing hard, but latterly | |moderate, the current setting us to the SW about a mile an hour. A very | |heavy dew falling this evening. Parts of the horizon observed East and | |West. | 105|Moderate breeze from the NE; air hazy; long high swell from the Westward. | |From observations by stars and chronometers, it has been ascertained that | |there is not the least current. Distance from the South coast of Africa | |about 50 miles. A high range in sight to the Northward. Parts of the | |horizon observed North and South. | 106|A light breeze from the NE; air hazy; a long swell from the Westward. | |About 50 miles distant from the land. | 107|The wind has been moderate from the land all night; air hazy; weather raw; | |a very heavy dew falling all night. The land in sight to the Northward, | |distant about 40 miles, is inverted from one end to the other. | 108|Parts of the horizon observed NNE and SSW. All other circumstances as in | |No. 107. | 109|Parts of the horizon observed NE and SW. Cape Lagullas North 2 or 3 | |leagues. A light breeze from the Eastward. Air hazy. | 110|Parts of the horizon observed SE and NW. Cape Lagullas due North, distant | |6 or 8 miles. Calm all day; sky clear; and weather hazy. | | | |N.B. On the 29th and 30th of July we were off the Cape, but the weather | |was so bad as to prevent any sights being taken. | —-+—————————————————————————————————————-+
