He had already sent people out after them, and it was not long before they were return'd.

We found the Natives very numerous wherever we came, and from what we could judge seemed very peacably inclin'd.

About six o'Clock in the evening we return'd on board, very well satisfied with our little Excursion.
Saturday, 15th.

Winds at East during the day, in the Night a light breeze off the land; and as I apprehend it be usual here for the Trade wind to blow during a great part of the day from the Eastern Board, and to have it Calm or light breezes from the land that is Southerly during the night with fair weather, I shall only mention the wind and weather when they deviate from this rule.

This morning several of the Chiefs we had seen Yesterday came on board, and brought with them Hogs, Bread fruit, etc., and for these we gave them Hatchets, Linnen, and such things as they valued.
