About noon on the 10th of September, 1816, we sailed from the Amherst Isles, as Captain Maxwell named this archipelago, in honour of the ambassador to China, and having a fresh breeze, we made rapid progress to the Southward. In the evening, we could barely distinguish the island of Quelpaert, of which there has been published an interesting account, containing the adventures of some shipwrecked Dutch seamen who were detained there for many years. At night the wind blew hard from the North, accompanied by a mountainous swell. Shortly after daybreak on the morning of the 13th of September, we came in sight of Sulphur Island, a high solitary rock in the Japan Sea, with what Humboldt calls an unextinct volcano on its North-western side. It had been our intention to land, but the surf broke with so much violence on every part of the shore, that this became impracticable. On sailing round, we discovered the crater, which emitted a white smoke strongly charged with the fumes of sulphur. The cliffs in that neighbourhood were of a pale yellow colour streaked with brown, and the rocks everywhere rugged and barren. The southern end of the island, which rose to a considerable height, was of a deep red colour, with an occasional spot of green. The strata, seemingly of tuffa, which lay in a direction nearly horizontal, were intersected at one place by a large dike of lava, which projected many fathoms from the face of the cliff like a wall, and formed a very conspicuous object. As the weather looked threatening, we relinquished all idea of examining this volcano, and stood to the Southward till four oclock, at which hour high land in the South-west was reported to be in sight from the mast-head. . . .
