Excerpt from The Bush Ranger of Van Diemen's Land

The major, who had in his youth been a mem ber of the yacht club, considered himself quite competent to take the general charge of the ves sel of which he was the owner, and over which he presided as captain, trusting to the m te, an excellent seaman, for the management f the vessel and for assistance in its navigation. One boy for steward, and another as the boy, whose prescribed duty was to be perpetually in motion, with an immense swab in his arms to sop up the water which the little vessel was continually taking in, from the proximity of its deck to the surface of the water, and nine sail ors, one of whom acted as the carpenter, form ed the whole of the crew; but thus slenderly equipped, the good little ship had arrived in safety over fifteen thousand miles of the ocean, to the entrance of the channel which led to the promised land.
