 Item
Reference Code: GBR/0180/RGO 14/58: 68v-70

Scope and Contents

Entries for 3-25 November take the form of three short summaries while the ship was in New Zealand. The ship sailed from Cape Campbell, via Cape Koameroo, arriving at Queen Charlotte Sound on 3 November, where Wales took observations. In the entry for 23-25 November Wales records having ‘occular demonstration of the inhabitants of this country being canniballs’ (sic) of which he had previously been sceptical; he does not provide further details [RGO 14/58: 69]. He also mentions that the ship fired guns so that the Adventure might hear them if sheltering nearby. On 26 November, the Resolution left New Zealand via Cape Palliser, for its second Antarctic sweep.
