Sunday, 8th.

Gentle breezes and clear weather.

At 5 p.m., seeing the opening of a Bay that appear'd to run pretty far inland, hauld our wind and stood in for it; but as soon as night came on we keept plying on and off until day light, when we found ourselves to leeward of the Bay, the wind being at North.

By Noon we fetch'd in with the South-West point, but not being able to weather it we tacked and stood off.

We saw in the Bay several Canoes, People upon the Shore, and some houses in the Country.
The land on the Sea Coast is high, with Steep Cliffs; and back inland are very high Mountains.
