That the vessels which had visited Otaheite were Spanish, was plain from an inscription that was cut upon a wooden cross, standing at some distance from the front of a house which had been occupied by the strangers. On the transverse part of the cross was inscribed, Christus vincit. And on the perpendicular part, Carolus III. imperat. 1774.
There were scuttles all round which served as air-holes, and perhaps they were intended to fire from with musketry, should it have become necessary. At a little distance from the front stood a wooden cross, on the transverse part of which was only the inscription Christus vincit, and on the perpendicular part Carolus Tertius, imperat 1774.
"We often imagine so; but distrust the animism of your dear Horace. You know that there is no middle course with it: 'nisi paret, imperat'." "I know it, but in the family of which we were speaking there is no danger for my heart." "I am glad of it, because in that case it will be all the easier for you to abstain from frequent visits. Remember that I shall trust you."
Near by was a cross having the following inscription cut on it: CHRISTUS VINCIT, CAROLUS III. IMPERAT, 1774. Cook caused to be cut on the back: GEORGIUS TERTIUS REX. ANNIS 1767, 69, 73, 74, ET 78.
