Janry. 1770.   Totara nue

out as we had been told maybe they are a delicacy here  the flesh & skin upon these heads were soft but they were somehow preservd so as not to stink at all

We made another excursion today  the bay every where where we have yet been is very hilly we have hardly seen a flat large enough for a potatoe garden  our freinds here do not seem to feel the want of such places as we have not yet seen the least apearance of cultivation  I suppose they live intirely upon fish dogs & Enemies

21. Dr Solander & myself were fishing today with hook & line & caught an immence number of fish every where upon the rocks in 4 or 5 fathom water   we have indeed immence plenty, the Seine is hawld every night & seldom fails to furnish us with as much fish as we can possibly destroy

22. Made an excursion today in the pinnace in order to see more of the Bay  While Dr Solander & Myself were botanizing the captn. went to the top of a hill & in about an hour returnd in high spirits, having seen the Eastern sea
