After this I bought 7 more at a more reasonable price, one of which we lost after he was paid for.

I might now have purchased as many as I pleased, for they now drove them down to the Water side by Herds; but having got as many as I well know'd what to do with, and likewise a number of Fowls, and a large quantity of Syrup, I resolved to make no longer stay.
Friday, 21st.

We got under sail, and stood away to the Westward along the North side of the Island, and another smaller Island, which lies farther to the Westward, which last bore from us at Noon South-South-East, distant 2 Leagues.
[Description of Savu.] Before we proceed any further it will be proper in this place to say something of the Island we have been last at, which is called by the Natives Savu.

The Middle of it lies in about the Latitude of 10 degrees 35 minutes South, Longitude 237 degrees 30 minutes West.

It may be about 8 Leagues in length from East to West, but of what breadth I know not, because I only saw the North side.
