The Wind was rather scant for us all this Day -- but we nevertheless were able to lay up our proper Course of North by East for the English Channel -- which we are now approaching very fast -- being at Noon this day only 135 miles from the Lizard. -- We find there is a Strong Current against us all this day setting us a good deal back of our Dead Reckoning -- ; so that we have now no chance of seeing Land this Day. Latd. 48. ° 51' N. and Longd. 6. ° 25' West. At 12 oclock at Night, we sounded and found bottom with 43 fathoms of Line, clearly indicating that we are now in the Chops of the English, but still too far from Land to see it, or even any of the Lights on the Coast. ---
