[1802 Aug. Friday - 20th. H.M.S. Investigator] along the east coast - Cape Manifold
[Astronomical observations not reproduced - see original journal]

The island lying off C. Manifold is stony and not very low. The back land of the main is very hummocky, and of moderate height. The shore immediately about the cape is divided into rocky heads and small beaches, but elsewhere the shore is sandy. The country has but a barren appearance
   At the distance of 3 or 4 miles to the northward there are some small rocks lying at a short distance from the shore; and about the same distance further on, which is the land nearly abreast at this noon, the land seems to be much broken, into rocky islets, heads and intermediate sandy beaches
