We arrived with a fair breeze at the Manatow
Islands at 12 o clock at noon and spent three hours there. With Mrs Woodruff
I walked over the same beach that we walked over together after being wrecked

to England, our names dates &c.; and at three o clock we left the Island
and continued our journey.
