II. Collins Extracts

P. 303. September 1800. "On the 21st. the American ship John
"Jay arrived, after a passage of four months and four days,
"from Rhode Island, bound to China. She had on board a
"quantity of salt beef and pork, which was purchased by
"government, at the rate of seven-pence three farthings per
"pound, for the purpose of issuing to such people as were off
"the stores, or who had the labour of convicts assigned to them,
"at the same price. This was a great accommodation."

P. 305. September 1800. "Many of the inferior farmers wore
"nearly ruined by the high price they were obliged to give for
"such necessaries as they required from those who had been long
"in the habit of monopolizing every article brought to the settlement
"for sale; a habit of which it was found impossible to
"get the better, without the positive & immediate interference
"of the government at home." —

P. 2 329. "Dispatches have been recently received at Lord Hobarts
"office from New South Wales, dated in August 1801, by which
"it appears, that the quantity of salt provisions remaining in
"store in the beginning of the year, being very inconsiderable
"and it being possible that accidents might happen to ships
"sent from England with meat, the governor had judged it necessary
"to send the Porpoise to the island of Taheite, for
"the purpose of salting pork for the use of the colony: and as
"it was absolutely necessary to send thither a quantity of salt for
"this purpose (an article which the colony could not furnish),
"he fortunately was enabled to purchase about fifteen tons of salt
"from the master of a whaler which put in there frome one
"of the Cape de Verd Islands. On this voyage the Porpoise sailed
"in the month of m May 1801." —

P.330. "Directions were . . . sent to the lieutenant-governor at
"Norfolk, Island, to salt a quantity of pork for the use of the principal settlement.

"The governor had likewise entered into a contract with a merchant
"in India, to freight a ship with cattle and rice, after
"the arrival of which he was of opinion that further supplies
"of cattle might be unnecessary, the stock in the country independent
"of the wild herd, being very considerable. That herd was
"grown very furious, and, having got among the mountains to
"the westward, rendered any attempts to take them dangerous
"and useless." —
