In making for the bay of Saldanha [_Table bay,_] keep between the latitudes of 33° 50' and 34° 20' of S. lat. so as to be sure of coming not much wide of the bay. If, on seeing the land, it appear high, you are then to the S.W. of the bay: if low sand-hills, you are then to the northward of the bay. In falling in with, the high land to the southward, which is between the Cape of Good Hope and the bay, the land trends N.N.W. and S.S.E. seven leagues from the Cape, and then trends away N.E. and S.W. towards the point of the Sugar-loaf, some four leagues. From this point of the _Sugar-loaf_ lieth _Penguin_ island; but keep fair by the point, as two miles from Penguin island there are two shoals. From the point to the island there are some seven or eight miles N. and S. and so, borrowing on that point, in eight or nine fathoms, steer a course S.E. and E.S.E. till you bring the _Table_ S.S.W. and the _Sugar-loaf_ S.W. by W. when you may anchor in 6 or 6 1/2 fathoms as you please; and then will the point of land by the _Sugar-loaf_ bear W.N.W. some two leagues off, and _Penguin_ island N.N.W. some three leagues distant. The latitude of the point going into the bay of Saldanha [_Table bay,_] is 34° 5' S.[95] On coming in there is nothing to fear, though the air be thick, as the land is bold within a cable's length of the shore. [Footnote 95: Only 33° 54'--E.] In my opinion, the current near Cape _Aguillas_ sets to the southward not above fifty or sixty leagues from the land: Wherefore, in going to the eastwards, it is right to have sixty leagues from land, so that you may miss that current. For 90 or 100 leagues beyond Cape _Aguillas_, the land trends E. by N. and not E.N.E. as in the charts. In my opinion the gulf of Cambaya is the worst place in all India for worms; wherefore ships going to Surat ought to use every precaution against injury from them. At Acheen our general was denominated _Arancaya Pattee_ by the king, who showed him extraordinary favour, sending for him to be present at all sports and pastimes; and all our men were very kindly used by the people at this place, more so than any strangers who had ever been there before. §3. _Extracts from a Treatise, written by Mr Nicholas Whittington, who was left as Factor in the Mogul Country by Captain Best, containing some of his Travels and Adventures_.
