Survey Continued.

On the afternoon of this day, Cook took Mr. Hodges to a large cascade which fell from a high mountain on the south side of the bay; Mr. Hodges made a drawing of it which he afterwards painted in oils. Cook named the place—Cascade Cove.

In the course of his survey of the rocks and isles at the mouth of the bay, Cook found—on the south-east side of Anchor Isle—“a very sunny cove, sheltered from all winds. Here by the side of a pleasant brook, shaded by trees from both wind and sun,” Cook and his party dined on crayfish. Hence the name—Luncheon Cove. To Cook, what a delightful pause in his unending toil—to rest by the side of a pleasant brook, shaded by trees from both wind and sun!

The next day, while continuing his survey of the bay, Cook came upon the sportsmen's boat adrift and seized her at the moment when she was about to be dashed on the rocks.

Proceeding to the place where it was thought the sportsmen would be, they found them—at about seven or eight o'clock in the evening—on a small isle in a cove. There seemed to be no better place, so Cook and his party landed on a bare beach. There in the growing darkness they kindled a fire and broiled some fish. “We made a hearty supper,” says Cook, “having for sauce a good appetite. This done, we lay down to sleep, having a stony beach for a bed and the canopy of heaven for a covering.”
