  Monday 16th we set out at an early hour; the morning was cloudy; could 
  find no convenient situation for observation; proceeded untill a little 
  before noon when we came too On the Lard# Shore opposite to the center of 
  good Island where I observed the meridian altitude of O's L# L# with 
  Octant by the back observation, wich gave me the Latitude ¬ 40° 20' 
  12" N# 
  = 
  I now set the Chronometer as near noon as this observation would enable 
  me, and proceeded untill evening, when we came too on the Stard# shore 
  opposite the lower point of the Island of the Bald prarie where we 
  encamped.
