jdy' ftnt age of improved navigation, who have been inftrufted
■s— by their labours, and have followed them as our guides,
have no fuch claim to fame. Some merit, however, being
ftill, in the public opinion, confidered as due to thofe who
fail to unexplored quarters of the globe, in confprmity to
this favourable judgment, I prefixed to' the account of my
laft voyage the names of the officers of both my ihips, and
a table of the number of their refpecttive crews. The like
information will be expected from me at prefent.
The Refolution was fitted out with the fame complement
of officers and men Ihe had before; and the Difcovery’s
eftabliffiment varied from that of the Adventure, in the
fingle inftance of her having no marine officer on board.
This arrangement was to be finally completed at Plymouth;
Tuefday 9. and, on the 9th, we received the party of marines allotted
for our voyage. Colonel Bell, who commanded the divifion
at this port, gave me fuch men for the detachment as I had
reafon to be fatisfied with. And the fupernumerary feàmen»
occafioned by this reinforcement, being turned over into
the Ocean man of war, our feveral complements remained
fixed, as reprefented in the following table r
