The log entries are daily from 1-19 March and 27-30 April, with summarised entries only for 20 March-26 April when the ship was anchored at Cape Town. An entry for 17 March notes that five ships sailed in company on the approach to Cape Town; the following day, the mizzen mast broke right through and had to be lashed together [RGO 14/58: 164v]. The entry for the 20 March records the ship’s arrival in Table Bay, where, upon finding that the Ceres East Indiaman commanded by Captain Newt [Thomas Newte] was headed home, Wales gave him a copy of his observations and a journal of his results for delivery to the Admiralty [RGO 14/58: 165]. The following days were spent taking observations.
