1767 -a close, dark, warm day; in the forenoon windy, in the afternoon some rain; it thawed fast; proceeded on the survey northerly.  -the next course to this is N. 83° W., but the ice being covered with water we proceeded no further; supposed the dist. on this course to be about 8 ch. to S. end of the bay.  The 1st considerable point from the end of course, N. 75 bears N. 8 W.; the 2nd point bears north, the 3rd point N. 2° E. being the point this side of Fredenbourgh, I think the S. east end of Cumberland Head bears N. 52° 30' E., the N.W. end Island St. Michael bears N. 58° E., south end of Island St. Michael N. 77° E., south end of Grand Isle S. 55° E.
    Return this night to Hulme's, where I stayed all night. - Gilliland.
