The party of Indians thus assembled amounted to about sixty persons, who conducted themselves with strict honesty and much propriety. Amongst these visitors was one whose character we could not

These Americans paint their bodies black and blue, and they have nearly the same customs, and use the same weapons as those whose description is found in the account of the third voyage of captain Cook, when he visited the north-west coast of America. We are not in possession of any chart of this harbour, but the journal informs us, that it was drawn by Don Bruno Heceta, J. F

Our officers went in pursuit of game, and killed several birds of the most beautifully variegated plumage; among others, a rollier, of a very fine blue colour, which Buffon has not described, though in this country it is very common. Not having foreseen the obstacles that detained us twelve days in this road, we did not send our astronomical clocks on shore, thinking that we should only pass five or six days at anchor. We had, however, little reason for regret, as the sky was constantly cloudy

makes the foot appear nearly round; such is the habit of the ladies of Chili. They wear their hair without powder, and divided behind into small braids, which hang down their backs. Their corset or bodice is generally of gold or silver stuff, and is covered with two short cloaks, the first of muslin, and the second which is worn over it, of wool of different colours, blue, yellow, or pink. With these woollen cloaks they cover their heads when they are in the streets and the weather is cold

On the 2d of June, in 37 38 north latitude, and 132 10 east longitude, according to our time-keepers, we discovered two Japanese vessels, one of which passed within hail of us. It had a crew of twenty men, all clad in blue cassocks, made like those of our priests. This vessel, which was about a hundred tons burthen, had a single high mast stepped in the

Their pipes, and their steels to strike fire with, seemed of Chinese or Japanese manufacture; the former were of queen's metal skilfully worked. Pointing with the hand to the west, [page] 39

Our hunters killed several water hens, some wild ducks, cormorants, guillemots, black and white wag-tails, a small fly-catcher, of an azure blue colour, hitherto undescribed; but all these species were very scarce.

The action of acids on metals, earths, and alkalis, was slow, and the bubbles that escaped during the effervescence were of a much greater size than usual. The production of vitriols was attended with some singular phenomena; that of iron became instantly of a beautiful violet colour, and that of copper was suddenly precipitated of a bright blue.
