FOOTNOTES:
[147] The names here given of the Hawaiian Islands are not all recognizable, but this one is evidently the modern Oahu.
[148] This officer is always referred to as Mr. Paget. Captain George Vancouver, chief of the expedition, used the more familiar spelling and the world has long known him as Lieutenant Peter Puget.
[149] A form of jelly-fish. Other common names are sun-fish, sun-squalls and umbrella-jellies.
[150] This name was given to the Northwest coast of America by Sir Francis Drake two hundred years before this voyage.
[151] This name is still in use on the Southern coast of Oregon.
[152] Here is seen the reason why the expedition doubted the existence of a river there until Captain Robert Gray discovered and named the Columbia River during that same year.
[153] The family and the British Columbia map-makers are particular about this name being spelled Barkley. See Captain John T. Walbran's British Columbia Coast Names, Pp. 33-35.
[154] This name is also misspelled throughout. He refers to Captain Robert Gray.
[155] He refers to Clayoquot Sound but errs in making it a part of Barkley Sound.
[156] Like errors in other names, he leaves out a letter in that of Captain John Meares.
[157] A former name for Captain Cook's Cape Flattery. Vancouver mentions "Classet" as the Indian name, but in a footnote gives the name Cook had written on his chart.
[158] In 1788, Meares named this island "Tatoosh" after the Indian chief he found there. Vancouver calls it Tatooche. See Vancouver's Voyage (2nd Ed.), Volume II, p. 46. It is not clear where the writer got this name of Green Island.
[159] This rock was supposed to be the one referred to in the De Fuca record now supposed to be a myth. Vancouver refers to it in doubtful terms.
[160] The crew may have continued the use of this older Spanish name, but Vancouver in text and chart retained the name Port Discovery, which continues to the present time.
