BOOK III.

From Ulietea to new Zealand.

CHAPTER I.

Passage from Ulietea to the Friendly Isles, with a Description of several Islands that were discovered, and the Incidents which happened in that Track.

1774 June

On the 6th, being the day after leaving Ulietea, at eleven o’clock a.m., we saw land bearing N.W., which, upon a nearer approach, we found to be a low reef island about four leagues in compass, and of a circular form.  It is composed of several small patches connected together by breakers, the largest lying on the N.E. part.  This is Howe Island, discovered by Captain Wallis, who, I think, sent his boat to examine it; and, if I have not been misinformed, found a channel through, within the reef, near the N.W. part.  The inhabitants of Ulietea speak of an uninhabited island about this situation, called by them Mopeha, to which they go at certain seasons for turtle.  Perhaps, this may be the same; as we saw no signs of inhabitants upon it.  Its latitude is 16 deg. 46’ S. longitude 154 deg. 8’ W.
