Yth, we descried Mon mouth Island ahead, appearing high and steep to the northward and eastward, while to the south- ward it is more level. About eight saw a flag on a hill and some houses as we coast along shore. The aspect is cheering; the land appears well cultivated, laid out in small plantations neatly separated by green live hedges. Another flag displayed in the bottom of the bay; more houses and cattle feeding on the hills. De- ath Sept. Termined to go on shore, and about noon, the 8th S...ept. , while the wind headed us about four miles from the shore, lowered a boat and rowed in. Ere we had got half way we were joined by an embarkation from the shore. It was paddled by about ten natives; some of them spoke Spanish and were invited to step into our boat. Soon after, we landed on a fine black sandy beach, where about two hundred naked Indians were collected. In front, somewhat elevated, was a kind of fort, with one gun, to which led a pretty good flight of stone steps. A veteran with a ragged uniform, walked on the wall of the fort, while a few more near him were also staring at us.
