safe and convenient harbour on the east side, and ascertained that 
the so-called Wollaston Island formed two islands. Leaving to the 
easternmost the name of Wollaston, I have given to the western the 
name of Bailj, after Francis Baily, Esq., the well-known Vice-Pre- 
sident of the Royal Society, as a small memento of the obligation the 
Expedition and myself are under to him, for the great interest he 
took in the equipments, and kindness shown me while in London 
when procuring the instruments. The harbour that lies between 
these two islands was named after the Sea-Gull. A chart of it will 
be found m the Hydrographical Atlas. Lieutenant Johnson was 
again transferred to the Vincennes. On the 12th, the Flying-Fish 
arrived bringing news of the Peacock and their operations, which 
will be detailed in the following chapter.
