When the weather became fine, we ran over to 

 Gage Road. 



October 1 1 . — We again visited Rottenest in the 

 ship, (Lieut. Roe the Surveyor- General, accompany- 

 ing us) for the purpose of erecting beacons on the 

 rocks lying oflp the points of Thomson's Bay, as marks 

 for leading clear to the eastward of the Champion 

 Rock. We were happy to have an opportunit}^ of 

 rendering this important service to the colonists, 

 who acknowledged it in a very handsome manner. 



Another object in crossing over to Rottenest was 

 to avoid a north-west breeze which came on the 

 next day ; on the 15th we again returned to Gage 

 Road. 



Whilst we were at Swan River this time, a wish I 

 had long entertained of procuring a pup of the wild 

 breed of dogs* of the country, was gratified. It was 

 a bitch, and left in the hollow of a tree by her mother 



* I am informed by Colonel Owen Phillips, 56th B. N. I., 

 formerly Assistant-Resident at Macassar, that he saw four wild 

 dogs brought to Sir Stamford Raffles at Java, which bore a very 

 strong resemblance to the animals mentioned in the text.
