Sunday 21 August 1836

21 August -Early part, hoisting out the surveying boat; at half past eight, observed a boat coming from the westward; at ten, a whale-boat came along side, with Mr S. Stephens and Captain Martin of the John Pirie; at three p.m., sent the gig on shore with Mr Pullen and Mr Woodforde; some spots of good ground and fresh water in small quantities were seen by these gentlemen, but there was nothing worth particular notice.
