In May 1768 Cook was promoted to the rank of lieutenant and given command of the barkEndeavour. He was instructed to sail to Tahiti to observe the transit of Venus in 1769 and also toascertain whether a continent existed in the southern latitudes of the Pacific Ocean. The

expedition, which included a party of scientists and artists led by Joseph Banks, left Plymouth inAugust 1768 and sailed to Brazil and around Cape Horn, reaching Tahiti in April 1769. After theastronomical observations were completed, Cook sailed south to 40S, but failed to find anyland. He then headed for New Zealand, which he circumnavigated, establishing that there weretwo principal islands. From New Zealand he sailed to New Holland, which he first sighted inApril 1770. He charted the eastern coast, naming prominent landmarks and collecting manybotanical specimens at Botany Bay. The expedition nearly ended in disaster when theEndeavour struck the Great Barrier Reef, but it was eventually dislodged and was careened andrepaired at Endeavour River. From there it sailed around Cape York through Torres Strait toBatavia, in the Dutch East Indies. In Batavia and on the last leg of the voyage one-third of thecrew died of malaria and dysentery. Cook and the other survivors finally reached England in July1771.

In 1772 Cook, who had been promoted to the rank of captain, led a new expedition to settleonce and for all the speculative existence of the Great Southern Continent by prosecuting yourdiscoveries as near to the South Pole as possible. The sloops Resolution and Adventure, the

latter commanded by Tobias Furneaux, left Sheerness in June 1772 and sailed to Cape Town.The ships became separated in the southern Indian Ocean and the Adventure sailed along thesouthern and eastern coasts of Van Diemens Land before reuniting with the Resolution atQueen Charlotte Sound in New Zealand. The ships explored the Society and Friendly Islandsbefore they again became separated in October 1773. The Adventure sailed to New Zealand,where 10 of the crew were killed by Maori, and returned to England in June 1774. TheResolution sailed south from New Zealand, crossing the Antarctic Circle and reaching 7110S,further south than any ship had been before. It then traversed the southern Pacific Ocean,visiting Easter Island, Tahiti, the Friendly Islands, New Hebrides, New Caledonia, NorfolkIsland and New Zealand. In November 1774 Cook began the homeward voyage, sailing toChile, Patagonia, Terra del Fuego, South Georgia and Cape Town. The expedition reachedEngland in July 1775.

A year later Cook left Plymouth on an expedition to search for the North West Passage. His

two ships were HMS Resolution and Discovery, the latter commanded by Charles Clerke.They sailed to Cape Town, Kerguelen Island in the southern Indian Ocean, Adventure Bay inVan Diemens Land, and Queen Charlotte Sound in New Zealand. They then revisited theFriendly and Society Islands. Sailing northwards, Cook discovered the Sandwich Islands(Hawaii) and reached the North American coast in March 1778. The ships followed the coastnorthwards to Alaska and the Bering Strait and reached 7044N, before being driven back byice. They returned to the Sandwich Islands and on 14 February 1779 Cook was killed by

Hawaiians at Kealakekua Bay. Clerke took over the command and in the summer of 1779 theexpedition again tried unsuccessfully to penetrate the pack ice beyond Bering Strait. Clerke diedin August 1779 and John Gore and James King commanded the ships on the voyage home viaMacao and Cape Town. They reached London in October 1780.

I saw not a woman with a head dress of any kind, they had alllong black hair a part of which was tied up in a bunch over the

forehead.though the lips of all were not slit, yet all were bored,especially the women and even the young girls; to these holes andslits they fix pieces of bone of this size and shpe, placed side byside in the inside of the lip; a thread is run through them to keepthem togetherThis Ornament is a very great impediment to theSpeech.
