So angered were the crews of the two ships at the loss of the captain,
that it was with the greatest difficulty the officers could restrain

Thus died Captain Cook in the fifty-first year of his age, surpassed by
none as a seaman, and was probably equalled by few as a marine surveyor
and draughtsman; while, if he was at times hasty, he was kind-hearted
and humane, and possessed the important power of attaching both officers
and men to his person.  Captain Clerke, who succeeded to the command,
made peace with the chiefs, many of whom came on board expressing their
sorrow at what had happened, while the natives brought off provisions as
usual.  Indeed, as the ships sailed away they expressed every mark of
affection and good-will.

Two other islands of the group, Woakoo and Atooi, were visited, when the

Captain Clerke, who had been suffering for some time from consumption,
was evidently fast sinking, but he still persevered in his undertaking.
On the 28th of April the harbour of Saint Peter and Saint Paul was
reached.  The Russian inhabitants, on finding that the explorers were
English, treated them with the greatest possible kindness, and through
Major Behin, the Governor of Bolcheretsk, Captain Clerke sent home an
account of the proceedings of the expedition, with that of the death of
Captain Cook.  Both ships, after passing through Behring's Straits,
encountered an icy barrier, against which the _Discovery_ was nearly
lost.
