| Date. | Course corrected. | Distance run. | Latitude by Observation. | Latitude by Account. | Longitude by Account. | REMARKS. | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oct. 6. | At 6 P.M. we took our departure from Cape Resolution, bearing North by Compass, distant 15 miles. | ||||||
| 7. | S. E. by E. ¼ E. | 62 miles | No observation | 60°.46′N. | 62°.50′W. | A very thick misty day, with a tumbling sea. | |
| 8. | S. E. by E. ¾ E. | 90 miles | Sun obscured | 60. 7 | 59.48 | In the morning the wind shifted to the N. N. E. and blew a heavy gale with a high sea. | |
| 9. | E. S. E. | 187 miles | Sun obscured | 58.55 | 54.00 | Scudding under a close-reefed main-topsail. | |
| 10. | E. by S. | 154 miles | Sun obscured | 58.25 | 49. 6 | The wind varying continually, accompanied by heavy hail showers. | |
| 11. | E. by S. | 187 miles | Sun obscured | 57.54 | 43.20 | A strong wind with a heavy sea. We consider ourselves this day nearly abreast of Cape Farewell. | |
| 12. | E. ¼ S. | 200 miles | 57°.46′N. | 57. 2 | A very heavy gale from the North. Scudding under the goose wings of the foresail. | ||
| 13. | E. ½ N. | 229 miles | 58. 5 | 29.52 | A tremendous high sea running. Scudding under a main-topsail. | ||

| 17. | E. ¼ N. | 152 miles | Sun obscured | 58.32 | 7.38 | On a calculation, we lost time, since leaving Cape Resolution, 3 hrs. 49 min.; for which loss we allow 28 miles. This correction makes the longitude 8°.31′ W. | |
| 18. | At day-light we saw the Butt of the Lewis Islands, having run 70 miles E. ¼ S. since yesterday at noon. Observed the Isles of Barra and Rona. | ||||||
| 19. | In the morning, made all sail; and at noon we anchored in Stromness Harbour, after the shortest passage from York Fort ever before known. The Prince of Wales accompanied us into the harbour. | ||||||
