The entries include a description on 3 August of an attack on the crew by inhabitants of Tanna island, whilst out looking for water [RGO 14/58: 120]. The following day Wales records that he was anxious to take readings on land, so in spite of local hostility and high surf he brought Kendall’s timekeeper ashore, noting that the active volcano on the island ‘fell in disagreeable showers’ and was ‘a very troublesome neighbour’ [RGO 14/58: 120]. The entry for 23 August describes Mallicola [RGO 14/58: 121], while those for 26-27 August relate to the Bay of St. Philip and James, with detailed descriptions of the local inhabitants and their dress [RGO 14/58: 122].
