Log entries for June, 1773-06-06 - 1773-06-30
Scope and Contents
Daily log entries are provided from 6 June when the ship left Queen Charlotte Sound with the Adventure in company, travelling on a course towards the Society Islands and Tahiti. Wales records that Mr Arnold’s watch stopped on 7 June [RGO 14/58: 40v]. On 22 June he went on board the Adventure and found that Mr Arnold’s No. 1 timekeeper was slower than Mr Kendall’s [RGO 14/58: 44]. On 10 and 14 June the Resolution briefly lost sight of the Adventure again, but the two fell in upon firing signals. An entry for 16 June records a near accident at the tiller [RGO 14/58: 42v].
