M'Kay and D.Stuart offered their services to go ashore, to search for the boat's crew who left on the 22d; but they could not find a place to land.

They saw Indians, who made signs to them to pull round the cape, but they deemed it more prudent to return to the vessel.

Soon after their return, a gentle breeze sprang up from the westward, we raised anchor, and approached the entrance of the river.

Mr.Aikin was then despatched in the pinnace, accompanied by John Coles (sail-maker), Stephen Weeks (armorer), and two Sandwich-islanders; and we followed under easy sail.

Another boat had been sent out before this one, but the captain judging that she bore too far south, made her a signal to return.
