Notes: Attributed to Giraudais by a note found with the chart. English translation of notes on map: All the length of this Strait the savages or natives of the country brought us victuals in quantity, which were traded for handerkerchiefs, knives, scissors, mirrors, etc. At first they appeared not to know the gift like the others before, that is to say, like those from the Toun of Bouton who received them very well we presented them. When leaving the Strait 5 chiefs of warriors came aboard sent by the Governor of the Dutch Company to find out, apparently, if we were Dutch since we were showing that flag, or, according to the custom of these savages, to receive presents. George Meldrum, Englishman, in command of the vessel or small goelette, from the honourable of ... vessel from Bangor bound for China went through the Strait on the 31st Dec., 1764.
