A new meeting with the natives
Short description
Georg Forster describes the crew's attempt to get the natives on board by playing some musical instruments: the fife, the bagpipe and the drums.
Text on source
The captain gave orders to play the fife and bagpipe, and to beat the drum but they entirely disregarded the two first, and were not very attentive to the last, nor could any thing induce them to come on board.
