 On 10 July 1771 Nicholas Young, the boy who had first seen New Zealand, sighted England (specifically the Lizard) again for the first time, and "Endeavour" sailed up the English Channel, passing Beachy Head at 6 am on 12 July; that afternoon "Endeavour" anchored in the Downs, and Cook went ashore at Deal, Kent.His return was unexpected, as newspapers and journals had long since reported fears that "Endeavour" had been lost at sea or destroyed in combat against the French.Cook's journals, along with those of Banks, were handed over to the Admiralty to be published upon his return.
