That
is
precisely
what
befell
his
quartermaster
,
Ayrton
,
"
said
John
Mangles
.
"
But
you
,
gentlemen
,
then
,
have
never
heard
the
catastrophe
of
the
Britannia
,
mentioned
?
"
inquired
Lady
Helena
.
"
Never
,
Madam
,
"
replied
Michael
.
"
And
what
treatment
,
in
your
opinion
,
has
Captain
Grant
met
with
among
the
natives
?
"
"
The
Australians
are
not
cruel
,
Madam
,
"
replied
the
young
squatter
,
"
and
Miss
Grant
may
be
easy
on
that
score
.
There
have
been
many
instances
of
the
gentleness
of
their
nature
,
and
some
Europeans
have
lived
a
long
time
among
them
without
having
the
least
cause
to
complain
of
their
brutality
.
"
"
King
,
among
others
,
the
sole
survivor
of
the
Burke
expedition
,
"
put
in
Paganel
.
"
And
not
only
that
bold
explorer
,
"
returned
Sandy
,
"
but
also
an
English
soldier
named
Buckley
,
who
deserted
at
Port
Philip
in
1803
,
and
who
was
welcomed
by
the
natives
,
and
lived
thirty-three
years
among
them
.
"
"
And
more
recently
,
"
added
Michael
,
"
one
of
the
last
numbers
of
the
AUSTRALASIA
informs
us
that
a
certain
Morrilli
has
just
been
restored
to
his
countrymen
after
sixteen
years
of
slavery
.
His
story
is
exactly
similar
to
the
captain
's
,
for
it
was
at
the
very
time
of
his
shipwreck
in
the
PRUVIENNE
,
in
1846
,
that
he
was
made
prisoner
by
the
natives
,
and
dragged
away
into
the
interior
of
the
continent
.
I
therefore
think
you
have
reason
to
hope
still
.
"
The
young
squatter
's
words
caused
great
joy
to
his
auditors
.
They
completely
corroborated
the
opinions
of
Paganel
and
Ayrton
.
The
conversation
turned
on
the
convicts
after
the
ladies
had
left
the
table
.
The
squatters
had
heard
of
the
catastrophe
at
Camden
Bridge
,
but
felt
no
uneasiness
about
the
escaped
gang
.
It
was
not
a
station
,
with
more
than
a
hundred
men
on
it
,
that
they
would
dare
to
attack
.
Besides
,
they
would
never
go
into
the
deserts
of
the
Murray
,
where
they
could
find
no
booty
,
nor
near
the
colonies
of
New
South
Wales
,
where
the
roads
were
too
well
watched
.
Ayrton
had
said
this
too
.
