Tuesday 11 October 1836

On the Gale moderating
which it did not until Monday 11^th weighed & procee-
-ded down the Gulf abreast of Yankalila we saw
a boat standing out from under the land it turned
out to be Mr Stevens C. Manager & Mr Morphett a gent-
-leman arrived in Cygnet now lying at Nepean
Bay & waiting orders from the Colonel that vessel
containing stores & the Surveyors was entirely at his
disposal. They also told us the Garden we had made at
Rapid Bay was doing well where we soon our anchored the
boat proceeding up the gulf.
