She was the caunter taken at Blanco, on which the name of _Christopher_ was bestowed when the vessel originally so-called was given to the prisoners.

Having repaired and provisioned the ships, on the 3rd of June they set sail, steering southward, but anchored again in two days in a bay, where the caunter _Christopher_ was run on shore and her cargo removed.

While examining the coast, on May 8th, during another storm, the caunter was again separated from the fleet.
