blowing extremely hard
from due West and not
the least chance of it’s doing
otherwise for some day’s so is
the opinion of Burns , an
old Master of Govt Vessel’s, also
Ward (who by the bye was here
drinking again to day
altho I am aware that
Pilotes is wanting in Launceston)

have a week of the same kind
of weather - and that we
shall not be able to move
for some time, the Blacks caught
One Kangaroo to day 9 P M
the wind as before - I have
some thoughts of sending a
boat to Launceston tomorrow
The Sydney Natives behave well
up to the present time also the
three White men –
