called Philip Y Banes, mentioned in the third Interrogatory, that he first saw him the 7th of December 1756, In the Latitude of 21 and 33 m. N.[2] and Longitude 81 deg. and 30 m. [Footnote 2: The latitude given in the next paragraph, 21 deg. 23' N., must be the correct one. Lat. 21 deg. 33' would be on the island of Cayo Largo. Doc. no. 184 gives lat. 21 deg. 18', long. 81 deg. 57'.] 4th.

Haddon from the said schooner that he could find no regular papers on board her, whereupon the Capn. told him bring all the papers he could find and the Capn. of the sd.
