We weighed anchor at 1/2 past 8, o'clock this morning, at the beggining [sic] of Flood Tide.

At 1/2 past 1 p.m. we came to anchor immediately abreast of Woolwich, from whence we see St. Pauls and the Spires of some other Churches in London, being here only 8 miles distant from that Capital by Land.---

We this day passed through a most beautiful rich and fertile Tract of country as any in the World, on each hand as we sailed up the River. -- Some of the Seats of Nobleman and Gentlemen near the River are very striking, and beautifully laid out; particularly Lord Eardley's (?) near Schooters Hill in Kent -- and Mr Avelock's at Green-Lythe, in Essex; and also Mr Zachariah Buttons, in County of Kent.
