I had a boat built of this wood which proved it to be good...this wood has much the resemblance of wainscot with us.
"Mr.Barrallier's survey was all this time going on.

Nearly abreast of the vessel was a creek which Colonel Paterson and I penetrated for a considerable way.

On its banks we found part of a net made of strong grass, apparently the work of a European.

We likewise found marks of fires having been lighted there, and in the stream the remains of a weir, the work of the native inhabitants...We concluded the net had belonged to the unfortunate men who ran away with the Norfolk...On examining Ash Island we found many large timber trees intermixed with ash, one of which I took on board...it has much the likeness of hickory.

I found several other woods, some of them light and pretty, and in particular a tree, the leaves of which sting like nettles.
