Storm Bay. So called by Tasman. On the evening of 

 November 29th, 1642, he was making into the bay, 

 evidently intending to come to anchor in Adven- 

 ture Bav, when a nor'-west gale blew his ships to 

 sea again. 



Tasman's Head. Apparently owes its designation to Fur- 

 ncaux, as it first, appears on Cooks chart. It 

 is very difficult to reconcile the location noted 

 by Furncaux. It must be rememb red, however, 

 that Furneaux was in all probability working on 

 an indifferent copy of Tasman's (harts, and also 

 that the pub'ished accounts of the English cap- 

 tain's visit to Tasmania may have suff red wli n 

 his notes were being revised for publication. 

 The account also gives one the impression of 

 having being written as the event- happened, and 

 various corrections made lat r. Furneaux states 

 that upon sighting land k the first 



point seen to be the South Cape. Now Tasman's 

 South C ipe (Zuyd Cacp) is the present Cape Pil- 

 lar. As he pr< I wards and passes the en- 

 trance to the Channel, Furncaux thought he was 

 passing across Tasman's Storm Bay. The ques- 

 tion naturally arises, how did he come to think 

 that Storm Bay waa cast of South Cape? (55 ) 

 If he really thought he was crossing Storm Bay, 

 and was in ; n of a copv of Tasman's chart 

 (as he states he was), he would have noticed 

 that Tasman had called tho island at the eastern 

 extremity "Tasman's Island."' Furneaux, how- 

 ever named the islands (The Boreel Islands of 

 Tasman) at th n extremity of what he

 Cape, and SK. Cape on th<> mainland. They owe their designation to 

 Furneaux, but the original (1G42) South Cape Is the present Cape 

 Pillar.
