A few large whiting were caught, and except three that were kept back for the white party, were distributed among them.
"Shortly afterwards, other natives arrived who also wished to have some fish, so the nets were cast a second time, and the whole of the catch was handed to them without division." Their number was so considerable that it was believed that many more were concealed in the bushes...They were all perfectly naked except one young fellow who had a bunch of grass fastened round his waist which came up behind like the tail of a kangaroo.

He was very merry, and from his gestures, possessed a keen sense of humour.

"He would throw himself into a thousand antic shapes, and afforded no small entertainment." "Having sent the boat on board with the seine," continues Grant, "I was anxious to get some kangaroos which, from the appearance of the shore, I made no doubt were to be found in plenty.

I made signs to the natives for that purpose, and one of them offered his services.

We walked towards the end of the beach we were then on, and entered the woods.
