The 11th day of said month, I measured the Sun at 62o, with a declination of 10o 47’, the elevation being 38o 47’, and the course was West and a quarter league to the Northwest, and the coast running East West, and the Punta de las Arenas up to here is a good coast to drop anchor, with my green “little mountains” and low land.
