exactness in the form of the land. The wide opening, called Storm Marion . 
tfay, is distinctly marked ; as is another bay to the westward with l7n ' 
several small islands in it, the easternmost of which are the Boreel's 
kylanden of Tasman. 
A year after Marion had quitted Frederik Hendrik's Bay, Van F vmux 
Oiemen's Land was visited by captain Tobias Furneaux, in His 1773, 
Majesty's ship Adventure. He made the South-west Cape on March 9 
and steered eastward, close to the islands and rocks called Maat- 
suyker's, by Tasman ; and behind which lay a bold shore which 
seemed to afford several anchoring places. Some of these rocks 
resembled, says captain Furneaux, « the Mewstone, particularly one 
which we so named, about four or five leagues E. S. E. - E off 
" the above cape, which Tasman has not mentioned, or laid clown in 
" his draughts.-* This is nevertheless the lion-head-shaped island 
particularly mentioned by Tasman, as lying twelve miles out from 
the coast: the mistake arose from the imperfection of the accounts. 
After passing Maatsuyker's Isles, captain Furneaux sent a boat to 
tae mam land, on the 10th, and the people found places where the 
natives had been, and where pearl scallop shells were scattered 
about. - The soil seemed to be very rich ; the country well clothed 
" with wood, particularly on the lee sides of the hills ; plenty of 
" water which falls from the rocks in beautiful cascades, for two or 
„ three hundrecl feet Perpendicular, into the sea ; but they did not 
see the least sign of any place to anchor in with safety " 
On the return of the boat, captain Furneaux made sail, and came 
{[ ° ' the westernmost point of a very deep bay, called by Tasman 
^ Stormy Bay. From the west to the east point of this bay there 
(t are several smaI1 islands, and black rocks which we called the 
friars." From the Friars he followed the coast N. by E. four 
jagues, and the same evening anchored in Adventure Bay. « We
