tt£W SOUTH WALES, 233 



anxiety they had for some time been under* alYd 

 they determined to leave tile* island in her. 

 « Mr. Bishop, her commander, paid them all the 

 attention the shattered state of the brig permit- 

 ted, taking on board in all, 19 men, women, and 

 children ; and with great difficulty brought 

 them safe to Sydney, the vessel being so leaky 

 as to require the labour of all the company to 

 keep her afloat. She was unable to bring them 

 all, leaving six or seven on the island. Those 

 arrived, were treated with attention, and all 

 possible relief afforded to their distresses. 



On the 18th, the Barwell arrived from Eng- 

 land, with male convicts, stores, and provisions. 

 The weak state of the public gangs,-even made 

 the allotment of villany which arrived in this 

 ship, an acquisition to the general strength. 



The Barwell brought an account (from the 

 Cape of Good Hope.) of the Lady Shore trans- 

 port being lost on lier passage to New South 

 Wales, with €0 convicts, 57 females and 3 males, 

 a large assortment of stores, and a company 

 for the New South Wales corps on board, to 

 whom was owing the loss of the ship; for after 

 -murdering the commander, and his first mate, 

 they carried the ship into Rio de la Plata, where 

 she was delivered up to the Spaniards. Thank 

 God, there is no port in the British dominions 

 ever open to receive the traitors of any country. 



In the Barwell arrived a new Judge-Ad vo- 

 in the room of Captain-Collins, who had
