P. 64 - 30 May 1789 Restoration Island 2

[Rems in Restoration Island Ne]w Holland plain of gathering their food I therefore prepared for sailing.— Filled the Barl. & Four Breakers of Water, and cut some necessary Spars. Ordered some Fern Tops to be got wch. appeared to be cooling & may of be of service to eat raw as it will lay Thirst.— The little pork I had when we sailed we have found frequently to be stolen & found it so now, but cannot discover the Wretch that did it— Kind Providence protects us wonderfully but it is a most unhappy situation to be in a Boat among such discontented People who dont know what to be at or what is best for them. High Water at Noon abt. 3 feet rise 12:39 Latd. of Restoration Point
