Although the date in the log is listed as July, I believe it was actually June.
The June dating is consistent with the succeeding entries, including the fact
that the date or day of the week is one off the actual date. The latitude of
4..32 South is also consistent with the latitude of 4..40 South two days later
on June 21, 1800.
