[[Hand-drawn circle in center of the page possibly indicating octant/sextant measurements. The text is partially obscured by leaking of ink from map drawn on previous page. There is an x placed through the drawing itself.]]
[[Triangle is drawn in roughly the center of the penciled circle. There is a x enclosed in circle with a line drawn out towards the left indicating the words 9 & 1 [[illegible due to ink bleed through]] [[from near my home?]] [[(illegible words)]]. At the base of the triangle is written .66 mile, on the interior of the circle on the left leg of the triangle is written 1.3 mile, on the right leg of triangle is written 1.56 mile. At the top point of the triangle is written 17th enc (17th encampment) on an Island. There are four marks on the exterior of the circle. These marks are between 11 o'clock and 12 o'clock, roughly 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, and 6 o'clock. ]]

Transcription Notes:
1680 x 2.4 = 4032.0; 4032 divided by 6086 is .66.; 4032.0 - 3651.6 = 308.4; so it is difficult to interpret some of the mathematics, as appears the notation is missing decimals.
