 We found variation here 8 degrees 25 minutes west.I designed to have stayed among these islands till I had got my pinnace refitted; but, having no more than one man who had skill to work upon her, I saw she would be a long time in repairing (which was one great reason why I could not prosecute my discoveries further) and, the easterly winds being set in, I found I should scarce be able to hold my ground.The 31st in the forenoon we shot in between 2 islands lying about 4 leagues asunder; with intention to pass between them.
