Anchored oft' the settlement Oii the ord, and uex:t day went up the 

 Bay. A very fine harbor. Fishing reported as very bad. Tlie settlers 

 here grow a few potatoes, and can get a good deal of game in the winter, 

 and I do not think tliey will be so badly oft" as at s me otlier places. 

 Detained here by the wsithe''.
