In the A.M.I went in the Pinnace to the head of the bay, accompanied by Drs.

Solander and Monkhouse, in order to Examine the Country, and to try to form some Connections with the Natives.

In our way thither we met with 10 or 12 of them fishing, each in a Small Canoe, who retir'd into Shoald water upon our approach.

Others again we saw at the first place we landed at, who took to their Canoes, and fled before we came near them; after this we took Water, and went almost to the head of the inlet, were we landed and Travel'd some distance in land.

We found the face of the Country much the same as I have before described, but the land much richer for instead of sand I found in many places a deep black soil, which we thought was Capable of producing any kind of grain.
