returned, at about 10 A. M. we weigh¬ 
ed anchor and proceeded to the place 
called Milly, where we anchored for the 
purpose of planting some seeds, and ta¬ 
king a last farewell of the chiefs and 
their people. The captain went imme¬ 
diately on shore, taking Hussey for his 
interpreter. He was gone till nearly 
night, when he returned, bringing with 
him huttuon and several other natives.; 
The captain gave orders to beat to quar¬ 
ters, to exhibit the men to the natives, 
and explain to them the manner of our 
fighting. Those untutored children of 
nature, seemed highly gratified with the 
manoeuvres, but were most delighted 
with the music, probably the first of the 
kind they ever heard. We informed 
them we always have such music when 
we are fighting anjenemy. The natives 
were then landed, and we immediately 
made sail for the head of the Island, in¬ 
tending to cruise around the other 
shores of it, for the purpose of making 
surveys, and constructing a map of it. 
We stood eastward till nearly morning.
