244« HISTORY OF 



resolved to send Mr. Bass, and Lieut. Flinders 

 of the Reliance, on that service, in the small 

 decked boat which lately arrived from Norfolk 

 Island, which was named the Norfolk, after 

 the Island on which she was built, for which 

 purpose she was properly fitted up. 



The powder magazine having been found to 

 be in an insecure and dangerous state, the pow 

 der was removed on board the Supply. This in- 

 deed was very necessary, for an attempt had been 

 made to break open the door of the magazine, 



The mind, fatigued by the enormities of th 

 convicts, will at least find relief by contem- 

 plating the transactions of those, from whose 

 nature nothing but savage actions can well be 

 expected, for in this way the natives now claim 

 attention. 



A young female, related to Bennillong, wh 

 had resided from infancy at Sydney, was shock 

 ifigly murdered ; and a native of Botany Ba 

 had driven a spear through the body of a la 

 called Nanberrey. The name of the girl wa 

 War-re- weer ; but to distinguish her, as ther 

 were others of that name, an addition was mad 

 founded on a personal defect, she being blind o 

 one eye, she was called War- re- weer Wo-gu 

 Mi (one eye), The girl being killed, an 

 Nanbarrey wounded, caused great violence 

 from their friends, among which were Cole-be 

 and Bennillong; the former meeting with the 

 man who wounded the boy, revenged the treatr 

 ment he received so completely that the mur* 

 derer died of his wounds the next morning*
