It is true, we had got over much the greater run, as to length of way; but the most important part of our voyage was yet to come, and we had no inconsiderable length to run neither, for as we purposed to sail north, the height of Panama, in the latitude of 9° north, and back again by Cape Horn, in the latitude of, perhaps, 60° south, and that we were now in 40° south; those three added to the run, from Cape Horn home to England made a prodigious length, as will be seen by this following account, in which also the meridian distances are not all reckoned, though those also are very great. From Juan Fernandez to the Line 30 From the Line to Panama 9 From Panama to Cape Horn, including the distance we take in going round 60 From Cape Horn to the Line again in the North Seas 60 From the Line to England 51 --- 210 Deg. --- N.B. There must be deducted from this account the distance from Lima to Panama, because we did not go up to Panama, as we intended to do. By this account we had almost 30° to run more than a diameter of the globe, besides our distance west, where we then were, from the meridian of England, whither we were to go; which, if exactly calculated, is above 70°, take it from the island of Juan Fernandez. But to return a little to our stay in this place, for that belongs to this part of my account, and of which I must make a few short observations.
