In this Situation had 28 fathoms water, and a great many small Islands and Rocks on every side of us.

The Main land appears here with a hilly, rugged, and barren surface, no Plantations to be seen, nor no other signs of its being well inhabited.
Saturday, 4th.

The first and middle parts, little wind at East-North-East and Clear weather; the Latter had a fresh breeze at North-North-West and hazey with rain.

At 1 p.m.3 Canoes came off from the Main to the Ship, and after Parading about a little while they darted 2 Pikes at us.

The first was at one of our Men as he was going to give them a rope, thinking they were coming on board; but the 2nd they throw'd into the Ship; the firing of one musquet sent them away.
