On the 3rd of November, the tempest ceased, and the next day the English were enabled to resume their different employments.
It was not till the 10th of the month, that Captain Cook had the satisfaction of seeing the Discovery arrive in the bay, and effect her junction with the Resolution.

She had sailed from England on the 1st of August, and would have reached the Cape of Good Hope a week sooner, if she had not been driven from the coast by the late storm.

Every assistance was immediately given to put her into a proper condition for proceeding on the voyage.
While the necessary preparations for the future navigation was completing, a disaster happened with regard to the cattle which had been carried out in the Resolution.

They had been conveyed on shore for the purpose of grazing.

The bull, and two cows, with their calves, had been sent to graze along with some other cattle: but Captain Cook was advised to keep the sheep, which were sixteen in number, close to the tents, where they were penned up every evening.
