Many thanks to David Pike for jolting my mind.
Flinders' book says:
"At noon a projecting head two miles long, which, from the lumps of rock at the top,
I called Cape Knob, was three miles distant; and our observations and bearings of
the land were then as under;
Latitude, observed to the north and south 34° 35' 26"
Longitude by time keepers, 119 15
The cliffy projection past Cape Riche,
with Mount Rugged behind it, N. 75 W.
Two rocks, distant 7 or 8 miles, N. 56 W.
Cape Knob, eastern extremity, N. 11 E.
A cliffy projection further eastward, N. 46 E.
One of the Doubtful Isles, N. 54 E."
and:
"As the wind veered round to the west and southward, we steered more in for the
north side of Doubtful Island Bay; and at noon, our situation and the bearings
of the land were these:
Latitude, observed to the north and south 34° 16' 40"
Longitude by time keepers 119 47
Doubtful Isles, south extreme, dist. 11 miles, S. 55 W.
West Mount Barren, N. 77½ W.
Middle do., N. 25 W.
East do., the furthest visible land, N. 28 E."
So I am fairly sure his T.K. notation must refer to longitude position by 'time keeper'.
Thanks to all.
