Daily log entries recording the approach to and arrival at Easter Island. An entry for 11 March records Wales’ first glimpse of the Easter Island Moai statues, ‘Saw by the help of our glasses several large statues or obelisks of wood or stone which are probably the Idols mentioned by the relators of Roggervin’s [Roggevein’s] voyage’ [RGO 14/58: 95v]. Further descriptions of the statues and of their individual names are provided in the entry for 14 March [RGO 14/58: 96]. Wales also describes Easter Island and its inhabitants, who were ‘extremely friendly but very thievish’ [RGO 14/58: 95-96], and records sightings of tropical birds, Man-of-War birds, and a sea snake. A map of the island is included.
