Summary Part III

Part XI: Lost Continent [January - March 1770]

The Endeavour is now circumnavigating New Zealand in order to chart the continent and claim the land for His Majesty. Whilst in the progress, the Endeavour trades quite regularly with the natives. They also run into problems, cannibals, killers, crooks, and so on. After finally circumnavigating all of New Zealand, the Endeavour heads West towards the Cape of Good Hope for it's journey home. Mr. Banks and a few others hope that they'll also find a huge lost continent to the West (which is rumored to be the home of cannibals). The continent is marked in an old map as New Holland. Though the crew tried so hard, most of them later assumed that it's just a mystery.

Part XII: Over a Looking - Glass Sea [March - April 1770]

The Endeavour is sailing West with two objectives. The first one is to find New Holland (which is basically Australia). The second one is two get back home. Nothing happens much as they're sailing West, except for Nick getting into a fight with Mr. Bootie (a really harsh fight).

Part XIII: Charting the Coast [April - May 1770] 

After sailing for a few weeks, the Endeavour finally reaches New Holland / Australia. Yep, same old thing happens here: trading with the natives, running into problems with the natives, charting and claiming new territory for England, and so on. 

Part XIV: Pierced Through [May - June 1770]

While exploring the continent, the Endeavour runs into problems at Great Barrier Reef. At first, the crew tried so hard avoiding shoal waters filled with sharp pointy corals waiting to pierce the Endeavour's hull. But by the time they know it, they were surrounded by coral reefs. Obviously, the corals pierced the hull of the Endeavour, causing it to slowly sink. With only three pumps available, saving the ship seems futile. But in the end, and with the help of Tarheto and Tupia, the crew used a technique called fothering to save the ship. It turns out that it did help, plugging the hole and stuff. 

Part XV: The Only Possible Passage [June - August 1770]

After the leak has been dealt with (but still there's a bit water coming in but not much to make the ship sink), the Endeavour continues on exploring the continent. They did the same old routine: going to land to get species for an energetic Mr. Banks, trading with the natives, and charting and claiming new land for King and Country. But during part of their exploration, the crew somehow turned one of the trading negotiations into a burn-everything-you-see fest. It started out by a few natives asking for two of Endeavour's turtles, which the Captain reclined. Instead, they offered bread, which made the natives angry. The natives, who are still angry, went to shore and pretty much set things on fire, such as Mr. Banks' tents, drying field, and the rest of the island. But they did create an extraordinary view for the crew at night, which Nick finds it amusing.
