Nothing remarkable.
[Tahiti: Expedition round Island.] Monday, 26th.

Very early this morning I set out in the pinnace, accompanied by Mr.Banks, with an intent to make the Circuit of the Island in order to Examine and draw a Sketch of the Coast and Harbours thereof.

We took our rout to the Eastward, and this night reached the Isthmus, which is a low neck of Land running across the Island, which divides it into two districts or Governments wholly independent of each other as we was informed.

The first thing we saw which struck our attention in this day's rout was a small Pig that had not been roasted above a Day or 2 laid upon one of their Altars near to a place where lay the Body or Bones of a Dead Person.

This Pig must have been put their as an offering to their God, but on what account we know not.
