Note 61 — PART the FIRST. (continued 2)
Johann Reinhold Forster translation
From Cape Virgin, till to the entrance of the first goulet, we may reckon 14 or 15 leagues; and the straits are in every part of this interval, between five and seven leagues wide. The north coast, as far as Cape Possession, is uniform, but little elevated, and very healthy. From this cape onward, one must be careful to avoidavoid the rocks, which are situated in a part of the bay of the same name. When the hillocks, which I have named the Quatre fils Aymond,[62] only offer two to sight, in form of a gate, you are then opposite the said rocks.
