Captain Cook’s Journal During the First Voyage Round the World

CHAPTER 6
8/125

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.
