These they hoped would procure them the good will of the inhabitants.

When, however, the lieutenant and his companions returned the next day, they had the mortification of finding that the beads and ribbons, which they had left the night before, had not been removed from their places, and that not an Indian was to be seen.
Several of the natives of the country came in sight on the 30th, but they could not be engaged to begin an intercourse with our people.
They approached within a certain distance of them, and, after shouting several times, went back into the woods.

Having done this once more, Mr.Cook followed them himself, alone and unarmed, a considerable way along the shore, but without prevailing upon them to stop.
On the 1st of May, he resolved to make an excursion into the country.
Accordingly, our commander, Mr.Banks, Dr.Solander, and seven others, all of them properly accoutred for the expedition, set out, and repaired first to the huts near the watering-place, whither some of the Indians continued every day to resort.

Though the little presents which had been left there before had not yet been taken away, our gentlemen added others of still greater value, consisting of cloth, beads, combs, and looking-glasses.

After this they went up into the country, the face of which is finely diversified by wood and lawn.
