[INGRAHAM Isles, in the S. Pacific ocean, lie .n. w. of the Marquesas islands, from 35 to 50 leagues distant, and are seven in number, viz. Oohoona or Washington, Wooapoo or Adams, Lincoln, Nooheera or Federal, Tatoo-e-tee, or Franklin, Hancock, and Knox. The names in Italic are those by which they are known to the natives. The others were given them by Captain Joseph Ingraham, of Boston in Massachusetts, com

mander of the brigantine Hope of Boston, who discovered them on the 19th of April 1791, a day remarkable in the annals of America, the revolutionary war having commenced on that day in 1775, and the first discoveries made under the flag of the United States marked its 16th anniversary. These islands, lying between lat. 8° 3′ and 9° 24's. and between long. 140° 19′ and 141° 18' w. from Greenwich, are mostly inhabited, and appear to be generally variegated with hills and valleys, abounding with timber and very pleasant.

The people resemble those of the Marquesas islands; as do their canoes, which are carved at each end. Cotton of a superior quality grows here. The natives were friendly. Before Ingraham's discovery was known, Captain Josiah Roberts, of Boston, sailed in the ship Jefferson for the n. w. coast, and likewise discovered these islands. He gave them different names; but, to avoid confusion, the reader is referred to each island under the Indian name, when it is known. As these islands lie in that part of the Pacific ocean, through which vessels from Europe or America, bound to the n. w. coast, must pass, and are not far out of their usual track, they may be visited for refreshment in case of need.
