A.M., sent 2 Boats to sound the Harbour and one to haul the Sean, the latter of which met with very little Success.
Monday, 4th.

Gentle breezes at North-West, West-North-West, and West; very fair weather.

P.M., Mr.Banks, Dr.Solander, and myself landed upon one of the Islands* (* Probably Motu-Rua.) on the North side of the one the Ship lays under.

This Island is about 3 Miles in Circuit, and hath upon it 40 or 50 Acres of Land cultivated and planted with roots; here are likewise several small streams of Excellent water.

This Island, as well as most others in this Bay, seem to be well inhabited.
