Served Turtle to the Ship's Company.

Yesterday was the only Salt meat day they have had since our arrival at Java, which is now near 4 months.
Monday, 7th.

From this day till Monday 14th we were employ'd wooding and watering, being frequently interrupted by heavy rains.

Having now compleated both we hoisted in the Long boat, and made ready to put to Sea, having on board a pretty good stock of refreshments, which we purchased of the natives, such as Turtle, Fowls, Fish, two species of Deer, one about as big as a small sheep, the other no bigger than a Rabbit; both sorts eat very well, but are only for present use, as they seldom lived above 24 hours in our possession.

We likewise got fruit of several sorts, such as Cocoa Nutts, plantains, Limes, etc.
