The one that accompanied him, perceiving footmarks on the sand, where some of his countrymen had been, was enabled by them to tell Mr.Roe, not only in what number they were, but THE NAME OF EACH.

This account was verified on their return to Perth, from whence the natives had been sent during Mr.Roe's absence on the same errand.
HURRICANE IN SHARKS' BAY.
The hurricane I have mentioned, as encountered by Captain Grey in Sharks Bay, latitude 26 degrees South, occurred on February 28th, which, corresponding with the hurricane season of the Mauritius, leaves little doubt that at the same time the shores of New Holland are occasionally visited by more easterly ones, moving in nearly the same direction.

The other two instances of hurricanes occurring in the neighbourhood are those of the Ceres, in 1839, in latitude 21 degrees South, above 300 miles North-North-West from Sharks Bay, and of the Maguashas towards the end of February,* 1843, in latitude 18 degrees South, about 400 miles north of the same place.

Ships, therefore, passing along the North-west coast of New Holland at the season we have mentioned, should be prepared for bad weather.

The hurricane experienced by Captain Grey began at South-east and ended at North-west.
