Still continuing his route to the southward, La Perouse gave the name of the Sartine Islands to a group which he met with, August the 24th; and, on the 5th of Sep- tember, that of the Necker Isles to nine small bare rocka of a frightful aspect — was it an epigram addressed to that celebrated minister? Finally, on the 14th of September, he cast anchor in the harbour of Monterey, in the territory of California. Since his first view of Mount St. Elias he had accomplished, in less than three months..., an accurate exploration of the north-western coast of America for an extent of more than six hundred leagues. After a stay of more than six weeks in Monterey Bay, he again set sail, having sent his first despatches to France, and once more traversed the seas in the neigh- bourhood of the Sandwich group. For a second time he gave — evidently witn the same satirical meaning — the name of Necker to a dry and barren rock. On the following night, while the two ships were sailing in close company, they narrowly escaped shipwreck on a reef which was discovered very suddenly.
