22. O- anna is a low ifland, on which a {hip was wrecked, and
foriie men periflied, according to Tupaya’s account: it feems
to be the fame which Admiral Byron called Prince of Wales's
Ifland. j for though fome iron and brafs, with the head o f a
rudder of a Dutch longboat, were found at King George s
Ifland, it could not be the ifland on which the fhip was loft ;
for the defcription and fituation prove King George’s Ifland
to be (26) Peokea; and the parts o f the fhip found there,
might have been carried from O-anna. T h e fhip loft here,
may, with great probability, be fuppofed to be the African
Galley, one of Roggewein’s fquadron, which was wrecked
upon an ifland, called, for that reafon, Pernicious I f and.
