Light Airs, Calm and pleasant weather.

P.M., righted ship and got the other Side ready for heeling out, and in the Evening Haul'd the Sean and caught a few fish.

While this was doing some of us went in the pinnace into another Cove, not far from where the Ship lays; in going thither we meet with a Woman floating upon the Water, who to all appearance had not been dead many days.

Soon after we landed we meet with 2 or 3 of the Natives who not long before must have been regaling themselves upon human flesh, for I got from one of them the bone of the Fore arm of a Man or Woman which was quite fresh, and the flesh had been but lately picked off, which they told us they had eat; they gave us to understand that but a few days before they had taken, Kill'd, and Eat a Boats Crew of their Enemies or strangers, for I believe they look upon all strangers as Enemies.

From what we could learn the woman we had seen floating upon the Water was in this Boat and had been drowned in the fray.
