Friday 3. May !

The Breeze continues, and has done so all Night. --

We sounded again this morning on the outward edge of the Abrolhos Shoal, and found bottom at 29 Fathoms.

Our Lat. today at Noon was 17. ° 20' South; and we are entirely clear -- and to the Northward of the Abrolhos Islands and Banks. --

We are this day 11 Weeks from Port Jackson, and have not made near so much progress in our Voyage since doubling Cape Horn as we expected to have done being rather sanguine in our hopes of crossing the Line in one month from the time of doubling Cape [Horn] which only adverse Winds prevented.
