Mr.Gore himself, Omai, Mr.Anderson, and Mr.Burney were the only persons that landed.

The transactions of the day, of which Mr.Anderson, drew up an ingenious and entertaining account, added to the stock of knowledge gained by our navigators, but did not accomplish Captain Cook's principal object.

Nothing was procured by the gentlemen, from the island, that supplied the wants of the ships.

In this expedition, Omai displayed that turn of exaggeration, with which travellers have so frequently been charged.

Being asked by the natives concerning the English, their ships, their country, and the arms they made use of, his answers were not a little marvellous.
