Lat. 796=13 16 1040 4 57=297 miles With the meridional difference of latitude 1040, and difference of longitude 297, the course is'S. 160 W., with which, and the proper difference of latitude, the distance is 830 miles. The above courses corrected for lee-way and variation, will be found as in the following Traverse Table. As the ship is to-day of a considerable distance from the land, the bearing and distance to Porto Santo must be sought for. 1 Lat. in obs. 45 10' Mer. parts 3044 Long. in obs. i2i6'W. Lat.

Diff. lat. 727 = 12 7 Mer. diff. lat. 941 Diff. of longitude 4 3 = 243miles With the meridian difference of latitude and difference of longitude the true course is found S. 14o W., with which, and the proper difference of latitude, the distance is found to be 750 miles. Hence the course per Compass to be steered on is S.W. byS. J W. The above courses corrected for lee-way and variation, with their corresponding distances, will be found as in the following Traverse Table. This day the ship appears to be approaching the coast of Spain, hence her bearing and distance from Cape Finisterre is required, as it being the most projected point of the land to the westward.
