To the South-East appeared an Open Sea, and this I took to be the Eastern.
I likewise saw some Islands lying on the East side of the inlet, which before I had taken to be a part of the main land.
As soon as I had desended the hill and we had refreshed ourselves, we set out in order to return to the Ship, and in our way passed through and Examin'd the Harbours, Coves, etc., that lay behind the Islands above mentioned.
In this rout we met with an old Village in which were a good many Houses, but no Body had lived in them lately; we likewise saw another that was inhabited, but the day being so far spent, that we had not time to go to it, but made the best of our way to the Ship, which we reached between 8 and 9 o'Clock.
In the night had much rain with Cloudy, Hazey weather, which continued by intervals until Noon. Wednesday, 24th.
