But as I had no instruments to take an observation to know what latitude we were in, and not exactly knowing, or at least remembering, what latitude they were in, I knew not where to look for them, or when to stand off to sea towards them; otherwise I might now easily have found some of these islands.

Але, не маючи приладів для спостережень, я не міг визначити, на якій широті ми перебуваємо, і не знав точно, або, вірніше, не міг згадати, на якій широті лежать ці острови. Я не знав, де їх шукати і коли саме повернути у відкрите море, щоб попрямувати до них; інакше я легко знайшов би котрийсь із островів.
