The wind and current being both in our favour, and the moon rising soon after sunset, we were able to fetch Anjer Point in the middle watch and got well within Java Sea by morning. Next day we passed through Banca Strait by the Lucepara Channel, keeping to the Sumatra coast to avoid the dangerous reefs and rocks on the east side, until we sighted the Parmesang Hills.
I might perhaps have added PULO LEAT, in Gaspar Strait, LUCEPARA, and CARIMATA; but as the sea is confined and shallow, and the reefs not very regular, I have left them uncoloured. The water shoals gradually towards the whole west coast of BORNEO: I cannot make out that it has any reefs of coral.
The 27th October saw the corvette again on its course, steering towards Timor and westward of the Turtle and Lucepara Islands.
