Land them on the island
Coming close to Aneityum, the captain refused to land them on the island. He waited a distance away from the island until a trader's boat came out to them to see what they wanted. The Patons sent a note to one of the missionaries already there telling them they wanted to land.
Hi,
Is it right and equally idiomatic to say "put them down on the island" instead of "land them on the island" in the above? Thanks.
