^ ^jj^ ^- beach, the furf running pretty high, I ordered Mr. Hay- 

 « — -., — -« ward to bring the boat to an anchor, as I did not think it 

 oaobe'r. prudent for them to land with her. 



Tuefday 25. 



Having fet the people bufily to work in filling water- 

 cafks and rafting them off to the boat, I again waited on 

 the Captain Moor, accompanied by captain Dixon. Whe-^ 

 ther he was diffatisfisd with us the preceding afternoon, or 

 what other reafon he might have I cannot fay, but he now 

 behaved in a very haughty manner, feemed difpofed to 

 prevent us from procuring any refrefhments, and even re- 

 fufed us a little water to drink, though the day was ex- 

 tremely fultry ; but on my intimating a defign of waiting 

 on the governor (who I was given to underftand refided at 

 fome diftance from Praya), to inform him of this improper 

 treatment of the fubje6ts of a friendly power, he relaxed 

 a little, and fuffered us to trade with the inhabitants with- 

 out moleftation. The people in general appeared well- 

 difpofed and ready to ferve us. The remainder of the 

 day was taken up in purchafing hogs, goats, fheep, and 

 oranges, which were brought to market in tolerable 

 plenty. 



Wednef. 26. Early this moming I difpatched two of my mates wltH 

 the long-boat and a watering party, following myfelf foon. 

 afterwards ; they immediately got to work, and by nine 

 o'clock a boat-load of water was fent on board ; I like- 

 wife fent fome fheep, goats, hogs, and oranges for the 

 fhip's company. The boat returned at eleven o'clock, 

 and by one in the afternoon a fecond load was fent on 

 board, which completed our water*
