of the Island and hoisted the Union Jack returning on board by 08.am,
9am weighed anchor and left Utupua taking Bob the fugitive from the
schooner with us, We made him a present of a Tomahawk some pipes Tobacco
and matches, and landed him on his side of the Island he could hardly
relish the idea of us leaving him alone,

and would have much sooner have stayed on board at 5.30 we came to
anchor in Ceili Harbour in the Island of Vanikoro this place being 50
miles SE of Utupua the natives here came out to us in a friendly manner
bringing all kinds of things to trade with.
