As Soon As I Could Get Quit Of Them, They Were Conducted Into The Gun-Room, Where I Left Them, And Set Out With Two Boats To Examine The Head Of The Bay; Myself In One, Accompanied By Mr Forster And Mr Hodges, And Lieutenant Cooper In The Other.

We proceeded up the south side, and without meeting with any thing remarkable, got to the head of the

Bay by sun-set; where we took up our lodging for the night, at the first place we could land upon; for the flats hindered us from getting quite to the head.

At day-light in the morning, I took two men in the small boat, and with Mr Forster went to take a view of the flat land at the head of the bay, near to where we spent the night. We landed on one side, and ordered the boat to meet us on the other side; but had not been long on shore before we saw some ducks, which, by their creeping through the bushes, we got a shot at, and killed one. The moment we had fired, the natives, whom we had not discovered before, set up a most hideous noise in two or three places close by us. We hallooed in our turn; and, at the same time, retired to our boat, which was full half a mile off. The natives kept up their clamouring noise, but did not follow us. Indeed we found afterwards that they could not, because of a branch of the river between us and them, nor did we find their numbers answerable to the noise they made.
