This made me resolved to go and see whether they meant to prescribe bounds to us or no.

Old Owhaa, as I have said before, was the only one of the Natives that stayed by us, and by his means we prevail'd on about 20 of them to come to the Tent and there sit down with us, and Endeavour'd by every means in our power to Convince them that the Man was kill'd for taking away the Musket, and that we still would be friends with them.

At sunset they left us seemingly satisfied, and we struck our Tent and went on board.
Sunday, 16th.

This day worked the Ship nearer the Shore and moored her in such a manner as to command all the shore of the North-East part of the Bay, but more particularly the place where we intended to Erect a Fort.
Punished Richard Hutchins, seaman, with 12 lashes for disobeying commands.

Several of the Natives came down to the shore of the Bay, but not one of them came off to the Ship during the whole day.
