The boat landed in the cove, without the least serf; the water was excellent, and conveniently situated: there was plenty of wood close to the high water mark, and the disposition of the people was as favourable in all respects as could be desired.
Early the next morning, our commander sent Lieutenant Gore to superintend the cutting of wood and filling of water, with a sufficient number of men for both purposes, and all the marines as a guard.

Soon after he went on shore himself, and continued there during the whole day.

Mr.Banks and Dr.Solander, who had landed on the same day, found in their walks several things worthy of notice.

As they were advancing in some of the valleys, the hills on each side of which were very steep, they were suddenly struck with the sight of an extraordinary natural curiosity.

It was a rock perforated through its whole substance, so as to form a rude but stupendous arch or cavern, opening directly to the sea.
