Mr.Banks bought one of the 4, but they would not part with any of the other on any account whatever.
The one Mr. Banks got had received a blow on the Temple that had broke the Skull. This morning I set out in the Pinnace accompanied by Mr.Banks and Dr. Solander, in order to Survey the West Coast of the Bay; we took our rout towards the head of the Bay, but it was near noon before we had got beyond the place we had been before. Sunday, 21st.
P.M., a Gentle breeze of Wind Southerly, the remainder light Airs and Calm with clear, settled weather.
P.M., the people employ'd as usual, and at 8 o'Clock we return'd on board the Pinnace from surveying the bay, in the doing of which I met with an Excellent Harbour, but saw no inhabitants or any Cultivated land.
In the A.M.after hauling the Sean for fish, I gave every body leave to go ashore at the Watering place to amuse themselves as they thought proper. Monday, 22nd.
