reach as fast as we could, and what to do we could not tell, but consulting

we did 9 or 10 miles till we made a little white sandy Island in the
middle of the harbour which we landed upon and hawled up our boat
and repaired her bottom with what materials we had: during our
stay of 2 days we had no interruption from the Natives; then we rowed
off to the main where we took in fresh water and a few Cabbage trees

we hawled our wind having a set of Sails in the boat accordingly the
next day we made close into land, but the Surf running very hard

landed & hawled her up putting some Soap in the Seams which
answered very well _ at this place we could get no fish of any
kind here we stopped two days and two nights then we left this
place and went farther down the bay about 20 miles expecting
to meet with a harbour to get some Refreshment but could not
