LAND-FALLLAND-FALL, (atterrage, Fr.) the first land discovered after a sea voyage: hence it is common for ships, who accost each other at sea, to wish a good land-fall at parting, by which they imply a discovery of land, at or near the place whither their course is directed, and which they expect to make by their journals.
