Accordingly, grog was no longer served, excepting on Saturday nights; when the companies of both ships had a full allowance of it, that they might drink the healths of their friends in England.
On the 24th, Captain Cook quitted the south-east part of Otaheite, and resumed his old station in Matavia Bay.

Immediately upon his arrival, he was visited by Otoo, the king of the whole island, and their former friendship was renewed; a friendship which was continued without interruption, and cemented by a perpetual succession of civilities, good offices, and entertainments.

One of our commander's first objects was to dispose of all the European animals which were in the ships.
Accordingly, he conveyed to Oparre, Otoo's place of residence, a peacock and hen; a turkey cock and hen, one gander and three geese, a drake and four ducks.

The geese and ducks began to breed before our navigators left their present station.

There were already, at Otoo's, several goats, and the Spanish bull; which was one of the finest animals of the kind that was ever seen.
