Gentle breezes from North-West round Northerly to East-South-East and fair weather.

At 2 p.m.saw a pretty high Island bearing West from us, and at 5 saw more Islands and Rocks to the Westward of it.

Hauld our wind in order to go without them, but, finding that we could not weather them before dark, bore up, and run between them and the Main.

At 7 was close under the first Island, from whence a large double Canoe full of People came off to us.

This was the first double Canoe we had seen in this Country.
