We also received from the Rev. Wm. Armstrong several boxes of acceptable articles and a large case of books from the Christian Knowledge Society. At 3 o clock, captain Fanshawe with some of his officers landed and returned again at sunset, with the exception of the Surgeon who remained on shore at the particular request of Mr. Nobbs, who wished some advice respecting the sick

At 1 P.M. Captain F. returned on shore with a fresh party of officers, and attended divine service. Much persuasions were used by the young people, to induce Capt. F. to remain with us another day, but he told them he could not do so with propriety, accordingly at sunset he returned on board, and the Daphne sailed for Tahiti.

Capt. Fanshawe and his officers treated those of our people who went on board most kindly and made minute inquires, into our wants and actual condition. They were pleased to express their satisfaction, at what they saw and heard and left us deeply impressed with their courtesy and urbanity. May almighty God have them in his holy keeping.
