Diary 7.7.1883



Saturday July 7


We have cast anchor at 20 minutes to 8 this morning, they signalled for the Pilot but there was some mistake, (the river level was too low at Rocky Reach for boats to cross the bar) he did not come on until 4 o’clock in the afternoon so we have to stop on until Monday about 7 o’clock. The Mayor (Mr Adams) and the inspector came on board and brought some sweets for the children but they call them lollies out here, and they bought us fresh beef and mutton for Sunday.
