現代語訳

また東沙嶼を取り、丁の上風に辰巽針を用いること八更船。小琉球山を取り、未の上風に乙卯針二更。鶏籠を取り、申酉の上風に甲卯針を用いること四更船。彭家山を取り、亥の上風に乙卯針を用いること三更船。未の上風に乙卯針を用いること三更船。花瓶嶼を取り、丁未の上風に乙卯針を用いること四更船。釣魚嶼を取り、丙午の上風に乙卯針を用いること四更船。黄尾嶼を取り、丙の上風に乙卯針を用いること七更船。丁の上風に辰巽針を用いること一更。姑米山を取る。また辰巽針六更船。土那奇翁居里二山を取る。《今訳して度那奇、安根呢山とする。二山は馬歯山の西にある》また辰巽一更。馬歯山を取って港に到る。汪録では則ち云う。《本録に載せず、洋舶針簿の内に見ゆ》乙辰八更、鶏籠頭を取り、辰を用いること多し。辰巽三更、梅花嶼を取る。単卯十更、釣魚台を取る。北辺を過ぐ。乙辰四更、黄尾嶼を取る。《得力この四更にあり。船身提上し、已に黄尾嶼を見る。下に甲卯針を用いて姑米を取る。定めて是れ正西風利なる故なり》甲卯十更、姑米山を取る。乙卯七更、馬歯山を取る。甲寅並びに甲卯、那覇港を取る。

蓋し鶏籠山より、東行して釣魚嶼赤尾嶼に至り、以て姑米山に至るまで、諸山皆南にある。借りて標準となし、俱に山の北辺より船を過ぐ。山を見れば則ち針正し。応に見るべくして見えざれば、則ち針已に下がって漸く東北に行き、必ず葉壁山を見るに至るなり。要するにその病は皆卯針を用いること太だ多きに由る。また風を相て針を用いることを能わず。それ西南風は固より皆順となすも、或いは午より、或いは丁より、或いは未と

英語訳

They also took Dongsha Islet, using the Chen-Xun needle for eight watches with Ding upper wind. Taking Xiao Liuqiu Mountain, using Yi-Mao needle for two watches with Wei upper wind. Taking Jilong, using Jia-Mao needle for four watches with Shen-You upper wind. Taking Pengjia Mountain, using Yi-Mao needle for three watches with Hai upper wind. Using Yi-Mao needle for three watches with Wei upper wind. Taking Huaping Islet, using Yi-Mao needle for four watches with Ding-Wei upper wind. Taking Diaoyu Islet, using Yi-Mao needle for four watches with Bing-Wu upper wind. Taking Huangwei Islet, using Yi-Mao needle for seven watches with Bing upper wind. Using Chen-Xun needle for one watch with Ding upper wind. Taking Gumi Mountain. Again Chen-Xun needle for six watches. Taking the two mountains Tunaki Onkori. {{Now translated as Tonaki and Aguni Mountains. These two mountains are located west of Maji Mountain.}} Again Chen-Xun for one watch. Taking Maji Mountain to reach the port. Wang's record states: {{Not recorded in this log, seen in the Ocean Vessel Navigation Manual}} Yi-Chen for eight watches, taking Jilong Head, using Chen frequently. Chen-Xun for three watches, taking Meihua Islet. Dan-Mao for ten watches, taking Diaoyu Platform. Passing by the northern edge. Yi-Chen for four watches, taking Huangwei Islet. {{The favorable wind was in these four watches. The ship's hull lifted up, already seeing Huangwei Islet. Below, using Jia-Mao needle to take Gumi. This was surely due to the favorable due west wind.}} Jia-Mao for ten watches, taking Gumi Mountain. Yi-Mao for seven watches, taking Maji Mountain. Jia-Yin together with Jia-Mao, taking Naha Port.

Generally, from Jilong Mountain, proceeding east through Diaoyu Islet and Chiwei Islet, up to Gumi Mountain, all these mountains are to the south. Borrowing them as reference points, ships uniformly pass along the northern edge of the mountains. If one sees the mountains, then the needle direction is correct. If one should see them but doesn't, then the needle has already dropped and gradually proceeds northeast, inevitably reaching the point of seeing Habi Mountain. In essence, this problem all stems from using the Mao needle too much. Moreover, [they] cannot adjust the needle according to wind conditions. While southwest winds are generally all favorable, sometimes from Wu, sometimes from Ding, sometimes from Wei and
