ROUND THE WORLD. 5^3 tlf^vces caft, at the cUftance of five or fix lea2;ues, two ifletS) which 1 named the Hcrmitanos-, the cveahig of the lame day we law the Anchorets to the northward and wcflward, diftant five miles: I found them prccifely in the latitude afligned to tlicm by Bougainville. We Taw at the fame in- Itant four fmall iflands to the eaftward : I had palled to the fouthward of them at midnight, at the tlifiance of a league -, I named them Monagos (the Monks). From this fliore I bore away for the north cape of New Britain; but, on the loth, fcarcely had the day appeared, when I difcovered other iflands to the ibuth-fouth-eail*. I ran the fame <Ja\, and the day foUowing, the length of the moll wefterlv, at a rcafonable diftance. I tocit all pofliblc mcafurcs to fatisfy myfelf of its true filiation, by taking bearings and diftances, and J can be pofitive, that its north coaft is eleven leagues long. The ifland is, without doubt, large in proportion ; for beyond the plains, which ex- tend themfelves as far as the fea fide, many to- lerably high mouritc ".o are feen; the chart repre- fents the Beyond this iiland are four othci' low iflands the coafts of which appear in. ⢠It is in the m:si\\^.^x\'(^\. fndocfte : It is necefTary, without doubt, to xtzdi fade lie, ox Jitd-j'rcjh, fouth-caft, orfouth-fouth- eafc; all that follo'vs proves, that this ifland could not lie to the weft of the frigate.
