Monday 3d. This morning I got up out of bed & went on deck about day light, to look for the Land, but the weather being wet, calm, & misty I could not discern it; but after breakfast, being somewhat clearer, we discovered Land almost ahead. 135 days from Leith. In the afternoon we came up with the Land, and after dinner went on deck, & saw the Millstone ahead of us and the Sun shining on it, & paused close by it about tea time. The Millstone is a very large rock pretty far out from the Land, and at a distance resembled very much the Craig of Ailsa; but when close to it, it has completely the appearance of a Lion lying on the ground. We passed close by it, and all the birds were flying round about it, apparently for the purpose of passing the night. When we first came up with the Land, it had a very hard rocky appearance, and very much detached into channels of Islands called [?]. The weather in the afternoon was very wet & blowing pretty hard which caused Capt. Crear resolve to heave too, as we could not stand on during the night; and about ten oClock we hove to, till day light, or at least till such time as we could make the mouth of D’Entrecastreaux’s Channel, through we intended to have run.
