The Natives brought to the Ship and sold to our people, small Cockles, Clams and Mussels enough for all hands, these are found in great plenty upon the Sand banks of the River —

In the morning I sent the Long-boat to Trawl in the Bay, and an officer with the Marines and a party of men to cut wood and hale the sene, but neither the sene nor the Trawl met with any success. ^{but the natives in some measure made up for this by bringing several baskets of dry'd or ready dress'd fish,   Altho it was none of the best I order'd it all to be bought up in order to incourage them to trade -}
