Though the weather continued fair, the sky, as usual, was clouded. However, at nine o’clock the next morning, it was clear, and we were enabled to observe several distances between the sun and moon. The mean result of which gave 39° 30ʹ 30ʺ east longitude. Mr. Kendal’s watch, at the same time, gave 38° 27ʹ 45ʺ, which is 1° 2ʹ 45ʺ west of the observations; whereas, on the 3d instant, it was half a degree east of them. In the evening I found the variation, by } the mean of Azimuths taken with } 28° 14ʹ 0 Gregory’s compass, to be } By the mean of six Azimuths by one } 28 32 0 of Dr. Knight’s } And by another of Dr. Knight’s 28 34 0 Our latitude at this time was 63° 57ʹ, longitude 39° 38-1/2ʹ east. The succeeding morning, the 15th, being then in latitude 63° 33ʹ south, the longitude was observed by the following persons, viz. Myself, being the mean of six distances } 40° 1ʹ 45ʺ E. of the sun and moon } Mr. Wales, ditto 39 29 45 Ditto, ditto 39 56 45 Lieutenant Clerke, ditto 39 38 0 Mr. Gilbert, ditto 39 48 45 Mr. Smith, ditto 39 18 15 ---------- Mean 39 42 12 ---------- Mr. Kendal’s watch made 38 41 30 Which is nearly the same difference as the day before. But Mr. Wales and I took each of us six distances of the sun and moon, with the telescopes fixed to our sextants, which brought out the longitude nearly the same as the watch. The results were as follows:—By Mr. Wales 38° 35ʹ 30ʺ, and by me 38° 36ʹ 45ʺ.
