greatest success. On May 4, 1826, he saw once more the fair city 

 of Hobarton, the site for which he had helped to clear in the wilder- 

 ness twenty -four years before. 



Here he had wild adventures in the service of the Van Diemen's 

 Land Company among blacks and bushrangers. Back in Hobart 

 in 1827 with a ticket of leave, he turned his versatile talents to 

 editing a paper ; then was appointed to the constabulary and did 

 service in the pursuit of bushrangers and blacks for two more years, 

 till granted a free pardon. By this time he was, he tells us, entirely 

 cured of his gambling propensities. Still he was unable to make 

 good use of such moneys as came into his hands ; he married a 

 termagant wife, and, as we have seen, sank lower and lower till 

 his death. 1 



At one time or another he published four books, on travel, 

 religion, and the state of Van Diemen's Land ; three more unpub- 

 lished MSS. are no longer extant, though one, the History of the 

 Black War in Van Diemen's Land, was used by James Bonwick 

 in ' The Lost Tasmanian Kace ' ; several other MSS., including 

 romance and drama, are to be found in the British Museum, in 

 addition to his many letters to W. J. Hooker, Dawson Turner, and 

 Henry Jermyn. 2
