ward or Touthward of Monavira ; I paded to the nottliward in the foregoing dire6Hon. Between Monavifa, Dwalder, and tlie Ivvo Brothers, is a very good channel of 12 fathoms, clay and mud ; when paffed you will deepen to 20 and 21 fathoms, clay and mud. The latitude of Dwalder is 4° i6'fouth, and the Brothers 4'’ 24' fouth, bearing from each other N.N.W. three-quarters W. and S.S.E. three-quarters E. When among thefe little iflands. Captain Parker of the Bridge- water obferves, That you will fee the N.E. part ot Great Pooloo Lout bearing N.W. by W. and N.W. [I think Captain Parker mufl mean the S.E. end of Pooloo Lout, as the eaft fide of that ifland could not be open to him in this fituatlon], and the northernmofl part N. by W. WTen you are pad: Dwaldcr and the Brothers, the current begins to run N.E. by E. and N.E. Under Great Pooloo Lout lies three large iflands and one fmall one; but thefe iflands lay clofe in fhore off Pooloo Lout, and on the north fide. [Captain Parker mufl: here mean the fouth fide, as at this time he had the fouth end of Pooloo Lout, bearing N. by W. al- though it was the northernmofl: part of that ifland which he could then fee.] Therefore the S.E. of Pooloo Lout will be known by a fmall rocky ifland lying a little off from the point. From Dwalder fleering N.E. by N. 10 or ii leagues, will bring you in flght of three fmall Iflands, called the, Allkeones. [Thefe iflands are four in number, and by the natives called Pooloo Ampats (Ampat flgnlfies four in Malays), from their llkenefs and number.] Their latitude is 3 39^ fouth ; which three iflands you leave upon your larboard hand at the diftance of one or two miles. [You may pafs on either fide of them, having no danger but what fliews itfelf; and good water, foft mud or clay foundings. Thefe iflands fliew my conjectures to be right, in fuppofmg Captain Parker to have taken the fouth end ot Pooloo Lout for the N.E. and N. end.] The depth between Dwalder and the three Alike-ones, on a N.E. by N. courfe, is 14, L ' 15* /
