 | | A Voyage to Terra Australis, by Matthew Flinders |
 | | CHAPTER XI Of the winds and currents on the south coast of Terra Australis, and in Bass’ Strait. Usual progress of the gales. Proper seasons for sailing eastward, and for going westward: best places of shelter in each case, with some instructions for the Strait. |
 | | LUIS VAES DE TORRES, a Spanish navigator, was the next person who saw Terra Australis; and it is remarkable, that it was near the same place, and in the same year; and that he had as little knowledge of the nature of his discovery, as had the Duyfhen. |
