Tynah with some friends of his from Attahooroo dined to day with me, to whom I made some presents of Hatchets, shirts and other things. A message came from Whaeeahtua the Erreerahigh of Tiaraboo requesting that I would come and see him before I sailed, but I now thought it proper to make it known I would not leave the Ship while I remained here. I however sent similar invitations to all principal Cheifs.

In the Evening Tynah and Iddeeah had business that called them to Matavai they therefore took an affectionate leave of me for two days.

In the morning I was employed Surveying.
