One of ouryoung gentlemen seeing something wrapt up in a better manner than common, had the curiosity to examine what it was; and to his great surprise foundit to be the head of a man lately killed. They were very apprehensive ofits being forced from them; and particularly the man who seemed mostinterested in it, whose very flesh crept on his bones, for fear of beingpunished by us, as Captain Cook had expressed his great abhorrence of thisunnatural act. They used every method to conceal the hea...d, by shifting itfrom one to another; and by signs endeavouring to convince us, that therewas no such thing amongst them, though we had seen it but a few minutesbefore. They then took their leave of us, and went on shore. They frequently mentioned Tupia, which was the name of the native ofGeorge's Island (or Otaheite), brought here by the Endeavour, and who diedat Batavia; and when we told them he was dead, some of them seemed to bevery much concerned, and, as well as we could understand them, wanted toknow whether we killed him, or if he died a natural death.
