[72] In some old manuscript Spanish Charts, the Chametly Isles are laid down SE-1⁄2S about 12 leagues distant from Cape Corrientes.
[73] According to Captain Vancouver, Point Ponteque and Cape Corrientes are nearly North and South of each other. Dampier was nearest in-shore.
[74] The Manuscript says, the farthest of the Chametlan Isles from the main-land is not more than four miles distant.

[77] Dampier's Reckoning made the difference of longitude between Cape Corrientes and the Island Guahan, 125 degrees; which is 16 degrees more than it has been found by modern observations.

[79] The Ladrone flying proa described in Commodore Anson's voyage, sailed with the belly or rounded side and its small canoe to windward; by which it appears that these proas were occasionally managed either way, probably according to the strength of the wind; the little parallel boat or canoe preserving the large one upright by its weight when to windward, and by its buoyancy when to leeward.
