By my reckoning, the part that we went over lies in 5 deg. 50’ or 5 deg. 52’ S. and 3 deg. 36’ to the westward of the island Tonikaky, or S. 84 deg. 27’ W. distance sixty-nine leagues.  At eleven o’clock the same night, we saw, to the northward of us, the southermost of the islands Salombo.  I make its latitude to be 5 deg. 33’ S. and its longitude west of Tonikaky 4 deg. 4’, at the distance of about eighty-two or eighty-three leagues.  It bears from the last shoal N.W. by W. 3/4 W. at the distance of about fourteen leagues.  It is to be remarked, that hereabout, off the island of Madura, the winds of the monsoons are commonly a month later in settling than at Celebes.  The variation here was not more than half a degree west; and we found the current, which before set to the southward, now setting to the N.W.

In the afternoon of the 26th, we saw from the mast-head the island of Luback, and had soundings from thirty-five to forty fathom, with a bottom of bluish clay.  The latitude of this island is 5 deg. 43’ S. and its-longitude 5 deg. 36’ west of Tonikaky, from which it is distant about one hundred and twelve leagues.  Its distance west from the islands of Salombo is thirty-one leagues.  We went to the northward of this island, and found a current setting to the W.N.W.

In the evening of Sunday the 29th, we saw the cluster of small islands called Carimon-Java.  The latitude of the eastermost, which is also the largest, is 5 deg. 48’ S. and its longitude, west of Tonikaky, 7 deg. 52’.  From this island it is distant about one hundred and fifty-eight leagues, and forty-five leagues from Luback.

On Thursday the 2d of June, we hauled in and made the land of Java, which proved to be that part of the island which makes the eastermost point of the Bay of Batavia, called Carawawang Point.  When we first got sight of the land, we had gradually decreased our soundings from forty to eight-and-twenty fathom, with a bottom of bluish mud.  As we steered along the shore for Batavia, we decreased them gradually, still farther, to thirteen fathom, the depth in which, night coming on, we anchored near the two small islands called Leyden and Alkmar, in sight of Batavia; and in the afternoon of the next day, we anchored in the road, which is so good that it may well be considered as an harbour.  We had now great reason to congratulate ourselves upon our situation; for during the whole of our passage from Celebes, the ship admitted so much water by her leaks, that it was all we could do to keep her from sinking, with two pumps constantly going.

We found here eleven large Dutch ships, besides several that were less; one Spanish ship, a Portuguese snow, and several Chinese junks.  The next morning we saluted the town with eleven guns, and the same number was returned.  As this was the birth-day of his Britannic majesty, our sovereign, we afterwards fired one-and-twenty guns more on that occasion.  We found the variation here to be less than half a degree to the westward.
