A flack, containing 1000 bufliels o f grain, the property o f an
individual, had been unfortunately deftroyed by fire.
The Hawkefbury had again inundated the adjacent country;
and many o f the fettlers, who had farms on its banks, had in defpair
totally abandoned them.
With this information I mull here conclude my labours; and, as
the Annalift o f the Englilh Colony in New South Wales, probably
take my leave for ever o f that country, in whofe fervice I fpent
the
the firft nine years o f its infancy, during all the difficulties and
hard (hips with which, in that rude ftate, it had to contend: a country
which has eventually-proved the deftruftion of my brighteft prof-
pe£ts; having, by my fervices there, been precluded from fucceed-
ing to my proper fituation in the profeffional line to which I was
bred ; without any other reward as yet to boaft of, than the con-
fcioufnefs of having ever been a faithful and zealous fervant to my
employers, and knqwing that the peculiar hardlhip o f my cafe
has been acknowledged by every gentleman, in and out of office,
to whom it has been communicated.
