At 6 p.m.the Island of Huaheine West 1/2 South, distant 7 or 8 leagues.

At 8 a.m., being close in with the North-West part of the Island, sounded, but had no ground with 80 fathoms.

Some of the Natives came off to the Ship, but they were very shy of coming near until they discover'd Tupia; but after that they came on board without hesitation.

Among those who came on board was the King of the Island, whose name is Oree.

He had not been long on board before he and I exchanged Names, and we afterwards address'd each other accordingly.* (* The Tahitians called Cook Tootee, which was their idea of the sound of his name, with a vowel termination, none of their words ending in a consonant.) At noon the North end of the Island bore South by East 1/2 East, distant 72 Leagues.
