 large, open bay, we found three smaller bays

 Entering one of these, we arrived at the point 

 where we met the friendly tribe with their chief 

 with his splendid physique and the best assurance

 trip. Arriving on board, the ship was put away 

 for the cruising grounds, — about the north end 

 of New Zealand, the Vasques ground, and off 

 the island of Eoa, one of the Tonga or Friendly 

 Islands, also taking one season on the south side 

 of Upolu, one of the Samoan group.
