SAIL FROM SWAN RIVER

The iet supplies, it was resolved that we should return to the North-west coast, exaroup that had very rarely been visited, since the Dutch shi+ps were lost on theo, and of which next to nothing was known

Not being able to persuade Miago to accoed with his neife, we enlisted the services of a native youth who generally went by the nae Roads on the afternoon of April 4th

Off the west end of Rottnest a sail was seen, which we afterwards found, to our ton We had another fruitless search for the bank reported to the northward of Rottnest Steering North-North-West froradually to 35 fatho Cape Leschenault at the distance of twenty-two miles; but afterwards, no bottorees 7 ain within twenty miles of it, and into a depth of 45 fathorees 36from 26 to 98 fathoms, seventeen miles from the land with the former, and twenty-five with the latter depth, which shows the extent and steepness of the bank of soundings fronting the coast, between the parallels I have mentioned
