nothing elfe to give them. We continued trading with 1778. 
them till four o’clock in the afternoon, when, having dif- , November> , 
pofed of all their cargoes, and not feeming inclined to fetch 
more, we made fail, and ftood off fhore. 
While we were lying to, though the wind blew frefh, I 
obferved that the Ihips drifted to the Eaff. Confequently, 
there muft have been a current fetting in that direction. 
This encouraged me to ply to windward, with a view to 
get round the Eaft end of the illand, and fo have the 
whole lee-fide before us. In the afternoon of the 30th, Mondays©, 
being off the North Eaft end of the illand, feveral canoes 
came off to the fhips. Moft of thele belonged to a Chief 
named Terreeoboo, who came in one of them. He made 
me a prefent of two or three fmall pigs; and we got, by 
barter, from the other people, a little fruit. After a ftay of 
about two hours, they all left us, except lix or eight of 
their company, who chofe to remain on board. A double 
failing canoe came, foon after, to attend upon them ; which 
we towed aftern all night. In the evening, we difcovered 
another illand to windward, which the natives call Owbybee. 
The name of that, off which we had been for fome clays, 
we were alfo told, is Mowee . 
On the ift of December, at eight in the morning, Owhy- December 
hee extended from South 22 0 Eaft, to South 12 0 Weft; and Tuefday u 
Mowee from North 41 0 to North 83° Weft. Finding that we 
• could fetch Owhyhee, I ftood for it; and our viliters from 
Mowee not chooling to accompany us, embarked in their 
canoe, and went alhore. At feven in the evening, we were 
clofe up with the North fide of Owhyhee ; where wefpent 
the night. Handing off and on. 
In the morning of the 2d, we were furprized to fee the WedneC z. 
fummits of the mountains on Owhyhee covered with 
3 Y 2 fnow.
