we anchored near the entrance of the bay but out of sight of the forts and town the winds being light we sent in a boat ahead of us as soon as she rounded the point. The round forts at the enterance of the harbour hoisted the black flag of this our boats took but little notice until the got up to the town there they were treated with evident suspicion all the soldiers were drawn out with long spears and muskets forming two lines for our officers to go up to the govenors house. They (our boats) were watched with suspicion and were not allowed to buy any fresh grub tho we had been Months without it directly a strong breeze sprang up our ship got underway and ran into the bay the forts hauled down their black flags and substituted the yellow one in its place we came to on Saturday May 10th
