If, in Europe, we saw someone eating a pigeon in the identical approach as that in which we’re accustomed to eat a crayfish, many individuals would experience disgust. Though these canoes all the time sail on the same facet, but they are so contrived as to sail a method as well as the opposite, and the Indians manage them with such dexterity that they put about much sooner than our boats. If we may decide of those individuals from the construction of their canoes, they definitely possess a substantial share of contrivance and ingenuity: lots of them are large sufficient to comprise sixteen or twenty folks; they are narrow, and built to sail very quick, yet there isn’t the least danger of their oversetting, as they are steadied with an out-rigger resembling a ladder on the weather facet, to at least one finish of which a log of wooden is fastened, cut sharp at every end within the form of a boat; this not solely serves to maintain the canoe upright, however likewise holds her to windward.
In the course of the night time, that they had so heavy a gale at south-west that they expected each minute to be pushed on shore; happily, nonetheless, at day-break, the wind shifted to south south-east, on which they instantly cut the cable and ran clear of the land: Captain Gilbert minimize each his cables and adopted the Scarborough. Cocoa-nut timber were in abundance, however these inside a moderate distance from the seaside have been cut down, so that the gap they had to go for any was attended with an excessive amount of fatigue to compensate for the advantages which might be derived from them, as they experienced from two or three attempts of the kind: the season typically appeared very backward. The shore on the north-west facet of these islands is daring and steep; the Scarborough coasted along inside a mile of the land, and incessantly sounded with an hundred fathoms of line, but may get no bottom; at the same time they saw the water break close to the shore, and a vast number of the natives were collected on the beach.
The wind blowing off the land prevented them from getting in with the shore, in order to enable them to offer a specific description of these islands; they appeared to abound with cocoa-nut, and a variety of other trees. Having a favourable breeze, they run alongside the islands about three miles from shore, and several other canoes with sails set, got here after the ship, but none of them would come close to her. No explicit incidence happened during their passage from Tinian to China; they saw the Lema Islands within the afternoon of the seventh of September, and came to anchor in Macao Roads the following afternoon. After they left the ship, Captain Marshall made sail, being desirous to make the westward part of the islands if potential earlier than the night time got here on; however on this he was disillusioned, as the wind grew light and baffling. During the night, Captain Marshall stood under an easy sail, and at day-light the subsequent morning land was seen a-head bearing north by east six leagues, and a few land bearing east seventeen leagues distant. At five o’clock they saw several more islands, bearing north north-east, five or six leagues distant. At eight o’clock within the morning of the 22d, they noticed Norfolk Island, bearing east by south twelve leagues distant.
This rock was seen first by Captain Gilbert, of the Charlotte, in the forenoon of the twenty sixth, and named by him, Matthew’s Island; it is situated in 22° 22′ south latitude, and 170° 41′ longitude, east of Greenwich. The east part of this shoal is situated in 173° 12′ east longitude, and the south part of it in 15° 50′ south latitude, but how far it extends to the westward and northward could be very uncertain, though doubtless to a substantial distance, as the water had a white look from the mast head so far as the eye could attain.

They also consider the hypothesis that sons are preferred in these nations of the Caucasus, the spread of scans and there being a apply of sex-selective abortion; however, the scientists admit that they don’t have definitive proof that sex-selective abortion is definitely taking place or that there are not any pure causes for the persistently excessive delivery sex ratios.
