Smee provides a detailed report of his reception, negotiations, and eventual escape from Paté (ff 55-67). He also provides detailed accounts of his meetings with the 'Hakeem' [Hakim] of Zanzibar, 'Yacood' [i.e. Yaqut bin Ambar al-Habashi], whom Smee describes as being a 'Eunuch Slave of the Imaum of Muscat [i.e. Sulṭān Sa‘īd II bin Sulṭān Āl Bū Sa‘īd] born in Amhara, a Province of Abyssinia' (ff 81-92), which is followed by a 'Description of the Island of Zanzibar or Zingebaur as it is called by the Natives' (ff 99-110). The latter includes a description of the slave market together with moral arguments against slavery (ff 103-105).

Smee had to decline the Dawla's request, however, as it would impede his delivery of dispatches to the Viceroy of Egypt [Kavalali Muhammad ‘Ali Pasha] and his planned voyage to Jeddah (ff 122-23 and f 160). He continued his voyage and subsequently met the Sharif of Mecca [Ghālib bin Musā’id al-Hāshimī], and 'Arabee Jellanee' [‘Arabi Jilani], the principal merchant at Jeddah, to whom he entrusted the Governor's letters for the Viceroy of Egypt and the 'Commanding Officer of the Turkish Forces' [i.e. Tusun Pasha] (ff 127-28).Folios 163-211 contain a report by Lieutenant Hardy, including:A description of the coast of Africa from Cape Guardafui to Magadixa [Mogadishu], Marca [Merca], Brava and Zanzibar, and the return voyage of the Company's Brig Sylphto Chaul (12 October 1811)An extract from the log refuting James Bruce's hypothesis about the monsoon on the east coast of AfricaAn account of different rivers on the coast from Zualiffe towards Mozambique (ff 188-99)The Glossaries of Swahili and "Galla" [Oromo] vocabularies compiled by Lieutenant Hardy (ff 199-206)The minutes of the Government-in-Council on the actions taken, and the information collected by Captain Smee and Lieutenant Hardy during the survey, including an application from Smee for financial compensation (ff 207-11).Hardy describes the arrival of the brother-in-law of the 'King of Johanna' [Sultan Alawi bin Husayn Mwinye Fani] at Zanzibar in 'great distress for Provisions and Clothes'. The party had earlier departed from Johanna [Anjouan] with 'some Portuguese Prisoners' for Mozambique, and included 'five Gentlemen [,] one Captain and 12 Sailors, besides thirty two Slaves most of them femini [sic] ones, which they said were a present from the Governor of Mozambique [António Manuel de Melo e Castro de Mendonça] to the King of Johanna'. Hardy was later approached by the Vizier of the deposed Sultan of Paté to help 'enable him to repair his boat, she having run on shore in bad weather whilst attempting to get to Mombass to secure his property' (ff 166-67).The volume also includes:A letter from Captain Thomas Smee, Commander of the Ternate, to W J Hamilton, Secretary to the Government and the Marine Department, 23 December 1810, requesting that the Sylphaccompany the Ternatein exploring the coast of Africa, and for the latter to be allowed to transport 1000 Rupees' worth of presents for the 'natives necessity' (ff 3-4)A letter from Deputy Secretary James Farish to Captain Smee, 31 December 1810, containing sailing instructions for the exploration of the African coast from 'Cape Gardafui to the Southward, as far as may be found compatible with the season of the year', with particular attention to the Somali Coast from Cape Gardafui [Guardafui] to Brava [Baraawe], and proceeding to the Island of Paté, 'a civilized and mercantile resort' to meet the Prince [i.e. Sultan]. Farish requested Smee to 'endeavor to learn which of the Rivers, that reach the sea on that [East African] coast may be with most probability conjectured to give passage to the waters of the Niger'. He further instructed Smee to continue sailing southwards from Paté 'as far as the Island of Zanzibar, in which, as belonging to our ally the Imaum of Muscat, you may rely on a friendly reception'.
