This afternoon I went upon one of the highest hill over the harbour from which I had a perfect View of the inlet ^or River and adjacent country which afforded but a very indifferent prospect - the low lands near the harbour River is all over run with mangroves among which the salt water flowes every tide and the high land appear'd to be barren and stoney — In the AM got the 4 remaining guns out of the hold and Mounted them on the quarter deck - got a spare anchor and anchor stock a shore ^and the remaining part of the stores and ballast that were ^in the hold - Set up the smiths forge and set the Armourer and his mate to work to make nails &Ca to repair the Ship —
