On this day we stood along the shore for Rio de Janeiro, and at nine the next morning made sail for the harbour. I then sent Mr. Hicks, my first Lieutenant, before us in the pinnace, up to the city, to acquaint the Governor, that we put in there to procure water and

As the bottom of the bay is probably rocky, it might be difficult for ships or frigates to bring their broadsides to bear on the post; but if the place remain in its present situation, I should advise taking a safer anchorage to the south-west, whence, in all likelihood, it would be easy to turn the post, which is

It was in order that I might not lose a single day, that I gave the Island of St. Catherine a preference over Rio Janeiro, where different forms would have consumed more time than was required for the completion of our wood and water. But in shaping my course for Saint Catherine's, I
