He trusted that the success of Forrest and his party would be a solace to him in his latest day, and that in their latter days they would look back with pride to the energy and pluck they displayed in their younger.

He called upon them to drink The health and success of Mr.Forrest and his companions during life.

(Loud and continued cheering.) Mr.Barlee: One more cheer for the absentees--Mr.Forrest's companions.
(Immense cheering.) A Voice: One cheer more for the black fellows.

(Applause.) Mr.Forrest, who was received with enthusiasm, said he felt quite unequal to the task of responding to the toast which had been so ably and feelingly proposed by Captain Roe, and so kindly received by his fellow-colonists.

He was extremely gratified to find that his services had been so highly appreciated, and were so pleasing to his friends and fellow-colonists.
