Monkhouse, Ships Surgeon, HMS Endeavour - October 1769 I was reading the book “Cook: Extraordinary Voyages” during my annual autumn trip to the coast last year. The journal of the ships surgeon was quoted concerning the discovery of a small idol presumed to be of religious significance due to its careful placement. While roaming the beach, I picked up a bunch of stones I discovered there. They looked like they would be relatively soft and easy to carve. Wrong! No fine carving required here... I was going more for the vibe than technique on this one. Thank you all for lookin' in!
