The Voyage Of Governor Phillip To Botany Bay

CHAPTER XX
28/30

The next morning, Mr.Anstis went on shore in the small boat to endeavour to procure a bullock, great numbers of which were seen grazing on the island Tinian.

At six in the afternoon, they stood round the south point of Tinian, but finding they could not fetch into the road, they brought to for the night.

In the evening, Mr.Anstis returned with the best part of a young bullock.

The next morning at day light, they made sail and stood in for the road, and at nine o'clock came to anchor in eighteen fathoms, over a bottom of coral, about a mile and an half distant from shore.

Soon after they anchored, a party were sent on shore to hunt.
25 September 1788-29 September 1788 From this to the 25th, they had light winds varying from south to east, with frequent showers over the land, and the flies so very troublesome that they found Captain Byron's account of them perfectly just.
