Cruz, as appears by the accounts which their writers have given of it, and I called the place in which we had lain, Swallow Bay.  From the eastermost point of this bay, which I called Swallow Point, to the north-east point of the island, which I called Cape Byron, is about seven miles east, and from the westermost point of the bay, which I called Hanway’s Point_, to Cape Byron, is about ten or eleven miles.  Between Swallow Point and Hanway’s Point, in the bottom of the bay, there is a third point, which does not run out so far; and a little to the westward of this point is the best anchoring-place, but it is necessary to give it birth, as the ground near it is shoaly.  When we were at anchor in this bay, Swallow Point bore E. by N. and Hanway’s Point W.N.W.  From this Point there runs a reef, on which the sea breaks very high:  The outer part of this reef bore N.W. by W. and an island which has the appearance of a volcano, was just over the breakers.  Soon after we had passed Hanway’s Point, we saw a small village, which stands upon the beach, and is surrounded by cocoa-nut trees.  It is situated in a bay between Hanway’s Point and another, to which I gave the name of Howe’s Point.  The distance from Hanway’s Point to Howe’s Point is between four and five miles.  Close to the shore there is about thirty fathom of water; but in crossing the bay, at the distance of about two miles, we had no bottom.  Having passed Howe’s Point, we opened another bay or harbour, which had the appearance of a deep lagoon, and which we called Carlisle Harbour.  Over-against the entrance of Carlisle Harbour, and north of the coast, we found a small island, which we called Portland’s Island.  On the west side of this island there is a reef of rocks that runs to the main; the passage into the harbour, therefore, is on the east side of it, and runs in and out E.N.E. and W.S.W. it is about two cables’ length wide, and has about eight fathom water.  I believe the harbour within it to be good; but a ship would be obliged to warp both in and out, and would after all be in danger of an attack by the natives, who are bold even to temerity, and have a perseverance which is not common among undisciplined savages.  When the ship was a mile from the shore, we had no ground with fifty fathom.  About four or five miles west from Portland’s Island, is a fine, small, round harbour, just big enough to receive three ships, which we called Byron’s Harbour.  When we were abreast of the entrance of it, it bore from us S. by E. 1/2 E. and the Volcano Island bore N.W. 1/2 W. Our boat entered it, and found two runs of water, one fresh and the other salt; by the run of salt water we judged that it had a communication with Carlisle Harbour.  When we had proceeded about three leagues from the harbour, we opened the bay where the cutter had been attacked by the Indians, to which, for that reason, we gave the name of Bloody Bay.  In this bay is a small rivulet of fresh
