A good relationship was established between them, which however quickly cooled due to thefts from the ship committed by the Hawaiians and the team's attempts to return the stolen goods. Feeling that the situation was heating up, Cook left the bay, however, the beginning of the storm damaged the rigging of the "Resolution" and the ships were forced to return for repair. The attitude of the Hawaiians towards the expedition became openly hostile. When the longboat was stolen from the Resolution, Cook, accompanied by ten Marines, disembarked to invite the local chief to the ship. Accepting the offer, the leader followed the British, but stopped at the very shore, presumably yielding to his wife's persuasions. By this time, several thousand Hawaiians had gathered on the shore, who surrounded the British, pushing them back to the water itself. Panic broke out, the crew rushed to the boats.
