In some old manuscript Spanish Charts, the Chametly Isles are laid down SE-1⁄2S about 12 leagues distant from Cape Corrientes.

73

According to Captain Vancouver, Point Ponteque and Cape Corrientes are nearly North and South of each other. Dampier was nearest in-shore.

74

The Manuscript says, the farthest of the Chametlan Isles from the main-land is not more than four miles distant.

Dampier's Reckoning made the difference of longitude between Cape Corrientes and the Island Guahan, 125 degrees; which is 16 degrees more than it has been found by modern observations.

The Ladrone flying proa described in Commodore Anson's voyage, sailed with the belly or rounded side and its small canoe to windward; by which it appears that these proas were occasionally managed either way, probably according to the strength of the wind; the little parallel boat or canoe preserving the large one upright by its weight when to windward, and by its buoyancy when to leeward.
