Remarks

Having made up the present I intended for my friend Tynah and his Wife, the prospect of our final parting drawing so near threw them into a great degree of Grief, and were inconsolable for some time, untill I was obliged to point out to them the Necessity of their going away, that my boat might return before dark. They however solicited me to stay one night longer with them, and to come to an Anchor in Matavai Bay, but as I could not consent to it, they took a very affectionate leave of me and we parted.
