 ■ ' -» of driving Toneoneo entirely out of the ifland, and of advan-

Thurfday4. On the 4th, the mother and filler of the young prince and 

 his father-in-law, with many other Chiefs of that party, 

 came on board the Refolution, and made feveral curious

 former, were fome fifh-hooks, which they affurcd us were

 ifland of Woahoo ; and a fly flap, prefented to him by the 

 prince's filter, the handle of which was a human bone, that

the Difcovery to be fafhioned into the ihape of a fahooa. 



It was carefully examined both by the officers and men, 



and appeared to be the bolt of fome large fhip timbers.
