SURVEY OF THE INTERTROPICAL 
1819. where we moored, at one-fifth of a mile from the 
Nov. i. flag-staff of Fort Concordia, bearing S. 14° |E. 
Mr. Roe went on shore, soon after anchoring, 
to wait upon the Resident, and to inform him of 
the purport of our visit : he found that our former 
friend Mr. Hazaart was at Batavia, and that his 
place was temporarily supplied by Mr. Halewyn; 
from whom we experienced such assistance and 
attention, as enabled us to complete our wood 
and water, and to obtain refreshments for the 
crew by the eighth day. Thq refreshments con- 
sisted of sheep, cocoa nuts, limes, bananas, man- 
goes, and the Jaca fruit. The sheep weighed 
from twelve to sixteen pounds, and were charged 
at about seven shillings and seven pence each. 
1—9. Limes were very scarce, and oranges, pompions, 
and other vegetables, which were most wanted, 
were not to be procured at this season. Honey 
was very plentiful and good, and was preferred 
by our people to the gulah, of which we got large 
quantities last year. 
The weather during the first three or four 
days of our stay was fine, but afterwards damp 
and showery with a succession of land winds, 
which affected us all with colds ; so that we lost 
no time in leaving the bay the moment that our 
wants were supplied, which was at sunset on the 
ninth.
