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

CHAPTER 4
24/88

A fresh Gale at South-East the most part of this day.

Keept plying to windward all the afternoon and night, and in the morning found ourselves nearly the length of the South end of Ulietea, and to windward of some Harbours that lay on the West side of this Island.

Into one of them I intended to go with the Ship, in order to stop a Leak in the Powder room, which could not be easily done at Sea, and to take in more Ballast, as I found her too light to carry sail upon a wind.
At Noon plying off one of the Harbour's mouth, the wind being right out.
Wednesday, 2nd.

Moderate breezes at South-East and East, with some Showers of Rain.

At 3 p.m.
