QUEEN CHARLOTTE'S ISLAND, an island in the south sea, first discovered by captain Wallis in the Dolphin, in 1767, who took possession of it in the name of King George III. Here is good water, and plenty of cocoa-nuts, palm-nuts, and scurvy-grass. The inhabitants are of a middle stature, and dark complexion, with long hair hanging over their shoulders; the men are well made, and the women handsome; their clothing is a kind of coarse cloth, or matting, which they fasten about their middle.
