Great Coco ; a single large tree on west side of mouth of creek

 imagined for what object the position was selected and the tree is obvious- 

 ly much older than the last attempt at settlement in the island. This bay 

 is at certain seasons an anchorage for Burmese junks calling to obtaia 

 coco-nnts and the introduction of the tree is probably due to a tamar- 

 ind fruit having been cast overbroad from one of thess junks and thrown
