receive! any injury, when they hauld out and brought to in 

 deeper water. 



Next morning we had rain & foggy weather which 

 continued till about noon. In the forenoon we both weighd 

 & with a light northerly air returnd down the arm till we 

 came a little below the point of division & then anchord 

 near the eastern shore abreast of a small Bay formd between 

 two steep sandy bluffs into which we found some small 

 streams of fresh water empty themselves which was rather 

 a scarce article hitherto / in our different explorings. — We 

 also saw some of the long Poles already mentioned erected 

 upon the Beach. 



In the evening the two Boats returnd after having 

 carried their examination to the termination of the west- 

 ern branch which was namd Port Gardner & which like 

 the rest they found to end with Shoal water surrounded 

 by low land. — In this arm they saw two Villages pretty- 

 numerously inhabited with Natives, they supposd there 

 might be upwards of 200 in each, & they behavd very 

 peaceably. They found Oak Timber more abundant in 

 this arm than any we had yet explored & the country to 

 the westward of it they describe as a fine rich Country 

 abounding with luxuriant lawns, cropt with the finest 

 verdure & extensive prospects teeming with the softer 

 beauties of nature as we have already mentioned in our 

 view of it from Port Townsend. 



We remaind here the two following days with fine 

 pleasant weather. The latter being the King's Birth Day. 

 Capt Vancouver landed about noon with some of the 

 Officers on the South point of the small Bay where he 

 took posession of the Country with the usual forms in 

 his Majesty's name & namd it New Georgia & on hoisting 

 the English Colours on the spot each Vessel proclaimd it 

 aloud with a Royal Salute in honor of the Day. 



We both weighd anchor early on the morning of the 

 5th & with a moderate breeze from the Northward made 

 Sail back again out of the Arm after having explored its 

 different branches. We were joind from the Western 

 branch which the Boats last examined by several Canoes 

 who accompanied us to near the entrance of the Arm, 

 where a fresher breeze from the North West carried us 

 from them & they remaind with their Canoes for some 



1792.
