95.
Novr. 1769.   off Cape Brett

he sunk down so immediately into the Canoe that we suspected he was materialy hurt  this however did not prevent another Canoe from coming up with stones in their hands who met another load of small shot at about 50 yards distant which struck several of them & at once stopd their speed  the two canoes which had been fird at went immediately for the shore  the others dropd astern & we left them behind -  the land appeard rocky & full of Islands  the Continent behind them rose in a gradual slope & seemd fertile  some cultivation was in sight  in the even foul wind

28. Foul wind continued & this morn the ship was 2 leagues at least to Leward of yesterday  the Continent rose in gentle hills but did not appear so fertile when near it as it did at a distance  several large heppas were in sight one the largest we have seen  to appearance far inland

29. Wind as foul as Ever & the ship moved more to Leward  so we reslvd to bear away for a bay which we had Passd   we did so & by 10 came to an anchor in a most spatious & well shelterd harbour or rather collection of harbours almost innumerable formd by Islands
