THE PACIFIC OCEAN. 
At day-break the next morning, being then not far from 
Kao, which is a vaft rock of a conic figure, we fleered to , May ' , 
the Eaft, for the paffage between the ifiands Footooha and Thurfday 15. 
Hafaiva, with a gentle breeze at South Eaft. About ten 
o’clock, Feenou came on board, and remained with us all 
day. He brought with him two hogs, and a quantity of 
fruit; and, in the courfe of the day, feveral canoes, from 
the different ifiands round us, came to barter quantities of 
the latter article, which was very acceptable, as our flock 
was nearly expended. At noon, our latitude was-19 0 49' 45" 
South, and we had made feven miles of longitude from Anna- 
mooka; Toofoabore North, 88° Weft; Kao North, 71 0 Weft 
Footooha North, 89° Weft ; and Hafaiva South, 12 0 Weft. 
After palling Footooha, we met with a reef of rocks; 
and, as there was but little wind, it coft us fome trouble to 
keep clear of them. This reef lies between Footooha and 
Neeneeva, which is a fmall low ifie, in the direction of 
Eaft North Eaft from Footooha, at the diftance of feven or 
eight miles. Footooha is a fmall ifiand, of middling height, 
and bounded all round by a fleep rock. It lies South 67° 
Eaft, diftant fix leagues from Kao, and three leagues from 
Kotoo, in the diredtion of North 33° Eaft. Being paft the 
reef of rocks juft mentioned, we hauled up for Neeneeva, 
in hopes of finding anchorage; but were again diiappoint¬ 
ed, and obliged to fpend the night, making firort boards. 
For, although we had land in every direction, the fea was 
unfathomable. 
In the courfe of this night, we could plainly fee flames 
iffuing from the volcano upon Toofoa, though to no great 
height. 
At day-break in the morning of the 16th, with a gentle Friday 16. 
breeze at South Eaft, we fleered North Eaft for Hapaee,
