35o COCHINCHINA. , 
The beneficial effects produced on the sick in the squadron 
by the plentiful supplies of fresh provisions, fruit, good Avater, 
a clear sky and a dry atmosphere, soon enabled us to proceed 
on our voyage. Accordingly on the l6th June we set sail 
from Turon bay, and on the 19th came in sight of the La- 
drone islands and the continent of China, Under one of 
these islands we anchored for two days, in order to communi- 
cate with the commissioners of the East India Company at 
Macao ; after which we made sail for the strait of Formosa 
and the Yellow Sea. Of the voyage up this sea, navigated 
for the first time by European ships, and of our subsequent 
travels on the continent of China, I have had occasion to 
enter into a detailed account in another volume. 
END OF THE VOYAGE.
