Each of these Canoes were made out of one large Tree, and were without any sort of Ornament, and the people in them were mostly quite naked.

At 2 p.m.saw a large op'ning or inlet in the land, which we bore up for with an intent to come to an Anchor.

At this time had 41 fathoms, which gradually decreased to 9 fathoms, at which time we were 1 1/2 Mile from a high Tower'd Rock lying near the South point of the inlet; the rock and the Northermost of the Court of Aldermen being in one bearing South 61 degrees East.

At 1/2 past 7 Anchor'd in 7 Fathoms a little within the South Entrance of the Bay or inlet.

We were accompanied in here by several Canoes, who stay'd about the Ship until dark; and before they went away they were so generous as to tell us that they would come and attack us in the morning; but some of them paid us a Visit in the night, thinking, no doubt, but what they should find all hands asleep, but as soon as they found their Mistake they went off.
