Captain Cook’s Journal During the First Voyage Round the World

CHAPTER 3
18/116

Nothing worthy of Note Hapned.

The people were Continually at work upon the Fort,* (* Near the site of this Fort is still a Tamarind Tree, planted by Captain Cook.

All visitors to Tahiti go to see "Cook's Tamarind.") and the Natives were so far reconciled to us that they rather assisted us than not.

This day we mounted 6 Swivels at the Fort, which was now nearly finished.

This struck the Natives with some fear, and some fishermen who lived upon the point moved farther off, and old Owhaa told us by signs that after 4 days we should fire Great Guns from the Ship.
