| Abstract |
The Expedition left Porto Praya at 8 P.M. on the 9th August, and a course was shaped for St. Paul's Rocks. Owing to the season of the year in which the passage was made, the course was necessarily somewhat erratic; the ship proceeding to the southeastward along the African coast until the S.E. trade was reached in lat. 3° 8' N., long. 14° 49' 'W, and then standing over to the westward for St. Paul's Rocks. The soundings and temperatures obtained must, therefore, be divided into two sections - 1st, the southeasterly section towards the equator; and 2nd, the equatorial section. [NOT CONTROLLED OCR] |
