Description
"About this period a mutual friendship began to exist between us; confidence took place of timidity; and now, instead of permitting only a few to visit the shore at a time, they fitted up the garden of a temple as a sort of general arsenal for us; the habitations of the priests were allotted as an hospital for the side, whilst other temporary buildings of bamboo were erected for the reception of our powder, which required airing, and for the various stores wanting inspection and repair." (M'Leod, 1818, p. 76).
