II Collins extracts Supplement 1

No 1 P32 April 1797. "Some time in this month a tree was for
"the first time observed growing on the banks of the Hawkesbury,
"the bark of which, when soaked in water, and beaten, was
"found to be as good as hemp for cordage, spinning easily, &
"being remarkably strong. The tree grew from 50 to 70 feet high;
"its diameter was from the smallest size to a foot, & it appeared
"to be of quick growth. This was rather a fortunate discovery; for
"every kind of cordage belonging to the settlement was almost
"wholly expended."—

No 2. P.97. March 1798 "He [the Governor] wished it were possible
"to dissuade them [the settlers] from keeping such heavy debts
"upon themselves by the enjoyment of articles which they could
"do without, or by throwing away their money in purchasing,
"at every public auction, rags and trifles for which such exorbitant
"sums were exacted. He urged them, with a paternal anxiety,
"to consider, that their folly involved their whole families in
"ruin and misfortune, and conjured them to wait with patience
"the result of some representations which he had made to government,
"as well in their behalf, as in behalf of the settlers
"upon Norfolk Island; by which he hoped that ere long they
"would have an opportunity of purchasing every European article
"that they might want at such a reasonable & moderate
"price as they, by their industry, would be very well able
"to afford from the produce of their labour." —
