at from 10 to 15 miles distance. I was
walking on the poop with the Captain
about 10 oclock when some lights we
had seen on shore, & which we thought
were fires, assumed the appearence
of a light house. the Capt. at the
moment thought we had found
Table Bay, & immediately brought the
ship to. it however turned out to
be that we were just off Hants
Bay, & that the lights we had seen
were only fires kindled by the
Kaffirs. They burned until 4 oclock
in the morning.
