Place fixed for an Observatory and Fort (continued) Several of the natives brought us axes, which they had received from on board the Dolphin, to grind and repair; but among others, there was one which became the subject of much speculation, as it appeared to be French: after much enquiry, we learnt that a ship had been here between our arrival and the departure of the Dolphin, which we then conjectured to have been a Spaniard, but now know to have been the Boudeuse, commanded by M. Bougainville. Voyaging Accounts © Derived from Vols. II-III of the London 1773 edition: National Library of Australia call no.
