A voyage of discovery to the North Pacific Ocean [microform] : in which the coast of Asia, from the lat. of 35@ north to the lat. of 52@ north, the island of Insu (commonly known under the name of the land of Jesso), the north, south and east coasts of Japan, the Lieuchieux and the adjacent isles, as well as the coast of Corea, have been examined and surveyed : performed in His Majesty's sloop Providence and her tender, in the years 1795, 1796, 1797, 1798. Providence (Ship); Providence (Navire); Scientific expeditions; Expéditions scientifiques. TO THE NORTH PACIFIC OCEAN, trees, with fomc cultivated fpots near it. At noon the S. E. extreme N. 9° W. two or three miles. The other extreme N. 85° W. very low. The reef N. 22' E. 45 fathoms corally bottom. Strong bree^^es and very fqually, but clear and pleafant weatiier. Strong breezes and fair, with heavy fqualls irom the Jand, that prevented our riflving any communication with the Hiorc: we therefore ranged the fouth fide at the diftance of two or three miles. This ifland is univerfally low. On the tops of the rifing grounds were foinc groves of trees, but the country in general was covered with heath or coarfe grafs, and feveral liabitations were fcattered along fliore; we alfo ob- icrved fmoke arifing in feveral parts. At 2 h. we had run the extent of the ifiand, and were abreaft of a linall iflet which is off the weft point; between it and the Ihore was a fmall reef, ard between North and N. 28° W. ue faw more land. An re6f was fituated between thefe lands, as we faw the water frequently break; and we had 18 fathoms corally bottom. At 5 h. 15' we were within five or fix miles of a fmall ifland, bearing from N. 65° VV. to N. 85^ W., and high land to the W. S. W. At 18 h 45' the fmall ifland bore N. 66'^ W. four or five leagues, and Uir other ifland from N. J^. E. to E. S. E.; and the hlffh o. 1796.
