300.
Endeavours river

was surprizingly recoverd  Poor Mr Green still very ill  Weather blowing hard with showers   had we not got in yesterday we certainly could not today

19. Went over the Water today to spy the Land which there was sand hills  on them I saw some Indian houses which seem'd to have been inhabited since those on this side  tho not very lately  there were vast flocks of Pigeons & crows  of the former which were very beautifull we shot several  the latter exactly like those in England were so shy that we could not come near them by any means. the Inlet or river in which we lay ran very far into the countrey  keeping its course over flat land overgrown with Mangroves  the countrey inland was however sufficiently hilly.  Evening hard rain

20. Weather cleard up so we began to gather & dry plants of which we had hopes of as many as we could master during our stay. Observd that in many parts of the inlet were large large quantities of Pumice stones which lay a good way above the high water mark  Probably carried there by freshes or extrordinary high tides as they certainly came from the Sea
