	Discovery of Bass Strait (Part I)
		Furneaux sailed south of Van Diemen's Land, anchored in Adventure Bay, then continued up the east coast hoping to reach the point where Cook had met the coast in 1770.
		Near the Furneaux Islands (later named by Cook) the land turned to the west and none could be seen behind.
		Furneaux, however, believed there was no strait - just a large bay with some islands across the entrance and, despite his officers' opinions, Furneaux's report convinced Captain Cook not to investigate further as he had intended.

		The Adventure, commanded by Furneaux, had been separated from the Resolution on the voyage to New Zealand, and had cruised for some days in the neighbourhood of the eastern entrance to Bass Strait.
		But Furneaux convinced himself that no strait existed, and reported to that effect when he rejoined Cook in Queen Charlotte’s Sound.
		Cook was not quite convinced by the statement of his officer; but contrary winds made a return to the latitude of the supposed strait difficult, and Cook though “half inclined to go over to Van Diemen’s Land and settle the question of its being part of New Holland” decided to proceed westward.

		On 8th February 1773 the two vessels separated, and Furneaux made for Van Diemen's Land, where he spent some time exploring the southern and eastern coastline.
		On the ninth the anchor was let go in Tolaga Bay, and after two days Furneaux put to sea, but bad weather compelled him to return to his anchorage and kept him there until the sixteenth.
		As during the whole of these days Furneaux had been in and about the eastern mouth of the Strait, it seemed strange that they had missed one another.
