November 1769. Off Mercury Bay, the Endeavour resumes her course northward and completes the circuit of New Zealand begun in the first volume. Cook names a river the Thames, anchors in the Bay of Islands, rounds North Cape in a gale, then careens his ship in Queen Charlotte Sound, where he takes possession of the land in the name of the king.
What remains is to prove what Cook has suspected for weeks: a strait truly separates the two islands. With the circuit of the South Island complete, the council of officers decides at Admiralty Bay and sets a course west, toward a land still absent from every European chart. After a long crossing of the Tasman Sea, an unknown coast rises at last at Point Hicks: New Holland.
At Botany Bay, the first encounter breaks down: Aboriginal people brandish their darts before the English boats, a sailor dies and is buried beneath the sand. The Endeavour then sails north along an entire coast still unnamed by Europeans, scattering christenings on every headland, until reaching the point Cook calls Tribulation, because there, he writes, all his troubles began.
This second volume of Cook's authentic journal carries the reader, day by day, from Maori bays to Australian reefs, along the thread of a discovery where every headland rounded opens a new peril, until the moment the Endeavour enters the narrow waters of the Great Barrier Reef.
This stretch of the voyage marks a turning point: it is here, at Botany Bay and then along several hundred kilometres of coastline entirely unknown to Europeans, that Cook's expedition sets foot for the first time on the soil of what will become Australia. Cook names the bay after the unprecedented botanical harvest that naturalist Joseph Banks and Swedish botanist Daniel Solander gather there, while every headland rounded receives an English name that still appears on maps today.
The text followed here is Cook's personal journal, written day by day aboard the Endeavour, distinct from the reworked accounts that editor John Hawkesworth would publish in 1773 for the general public. Here one finds the direct voice of a meticulous sailor, more attentive to headlands, winds and men than to literary effect, which makes it a firsthand source on the very first contacts between Europeans and Aboriginal Australians.
The first complete modern rewriting for today's reader, making this account accessible without betraying anything of the voyage. Twenty original illustrations and redrawn maps bring the route to life, while a set of reference materials (glossary, chronology, index, further reading, editor's note, afterword) and selected passages from the original text accompany the reading.

About the Author
A Royal Navy officer, James Cook (1728-1779) commanded the Endeavour on his first great voyage around the world, from 1768 to 1771. The son of a farmer who became an outstanding surveyor during the Seven Years' War, he was chosen by the Admiralty and the Royal Society to observe the transit of Venus at Tahiti and to search for the southern continent. This second volume of his journal sees him complete the circumnavigation of New Zealand, prove the existence of the strait that now bears his name, and reach the east coast of New Holland, where he was the first among European navigators to set foot at Botany Bay, before two further voyages that would make him the greatest navigator of his century.

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
