This swell, which was not high, produced an obvious effect on the dip angle, as observed, the two horizons alternately separating and overlapping; this change was however so slight that I have not been able to measure it. 96 All other circumstances as in Nov. 95. Parts of the horizon observed NE and SW. 97 During the night there has been a light breeze from the East; at this moment it is freshening up a little. The atmosphere is clear; horizon sharp; a long low swell from SW, as yesterday. 98 It has been calm, or nearly so, during the night; occasionally a light air from SE and S. All circumstances favorable. 99 During the night there has been a light wind from SW. The weather is more hazy than when the wind was from the Eastward, and the horizon not so distinctly marked; but the above sights are good. There is still a swell from SW, which causes some little uncertainty as to the exact moment of taking the angle. 100 In the night there has been a light breeze from W by S. Weather hazy; but the horizon sharper than yesterday morning. 101 During the night almost calm; just now a light air from the NE. Parts of the horizon observed NE and SW. 102 Fine fair clear weather, but with so high a swell as to render the observation difficult. Wind light from N, after having been blowing fresh. 103 Light breezes from the North-eastward; smooth water, and a clear cool air; hazy about the land. The distance from the South cost of Africa was about 8 or 9 leagues. All circumstances seem favourable. No current; we have probably been too near shore for it. 104 Light breeze from the SW, with a long swell. Hazy weather. The wind has been from the West for 24 hours; at first blowing hard, but latterly moderate, the current setting us to the SW about a mile an hour. A very heavy dew falling this evening. Parts of the horizon observed East and West. 105 Moderate breeze from the NE; air hazy; long high swell from the Westward. From observations by stars and chronometers, it has been ascertained that there is not the least current. Distance from the South coast of Africa about 50 miles. A high range in sight to the Northward. Parts of the horizon observed North and South. 106 A light breeze from the NE; air hazy; a long swell from the Westward. About 50 miles distant from the land. 107 The wind has been moderate from the land all night; air hazy; weather raw; a very heavy dew falling all night. The land in sight to the Northward, distant about 40 miles, is inverted from one end to the other. 108 Parts of the horizon observed NNE and SSW. All other circumstances as in No. 107. 109 Parts of the horizon observed NE and SW. Cape Lagullas North 2 or 3 leagues. A light breeze from the Eastward. Air hazy. 110 Parts of the horizon observed SE and NW. Cape Lagullas due North, distant 6 or 8 miles. Calm all day; sky clear; and weather hazy. N.B. On the 29th and 30th of July we were off the Cape, but the weather was so bad as to prevent any sights being taken. - -
