January 26.

Early the next morning we sailed over the bar, though not without grounding, for the wind being from the westward we were obliged to make several tacks, by which we necessarily approached the edge of the banks; this accident however did not detain us and by one o’clock we passed round Cape Sorell.

January 29.

On the 29th at eight a.m. the Mewstone was passed and the wind being fresh from South-West we rounded the South-East Cape at nine o’clock, and at sunset we were off Cape Frederick Hendrick, which is the northern head of Adventure Bay:  between this and Quoin, or Sloping Island, we stood off and on during the night.  At daylight we entered the Derwent River and anchored off Hobart town at seven o’clock in the morning.

1819.  February 7.

Here we remained until the 7th of February on which day the judge embarked and we left the place on our return to Port Jackson.

February 14.

On the 14th at dusk we passed Botany Bay, and it was dark when we were abreast of Port Jackson; but, being sufficiently acquainted with the place, and favoured by the wind, we did not hesitate to enter; and anchored off Sydney Cove at nine o’clock in the evening.
