Adventure Bay, situated on the S.E. coast of New Holland, lat. 43° 21′ S., lon. 147° 29′ E. This bay was first discovered by Capt. Furneaux, in 1773, and was named by him after the ship which he commanded, and which formed part of the expedition under the orders of Capt. Cook. The anchoring ground is good and well sheltered, and the neighboring shore furnishes abun-dance of wood and water. Capt. Cook found the aborigines to be mild and cheerful, but totally devoid of activity and genius, and nearly on a level with the wretched natives of Terra del Fuego.
