It was a heady evening for Chauncey Patrick Coffin, M.D. Certain others were not so delighted with Coffin's bombshell. "It's idiocy!" young Dr. Phillip Dawson wailed in the laboratory conference room the next morning. "Blind, screaming idiocy. You've gone out of your mind that's all there is to it.

Many settlers crossed in search of the new country, and, before a year had passed, nearly two hundred persons, with more than 15,000 sheep, had landed on the shores of Port Phillip. But they soon spread over a great extent of country from Geelong to Sunbury.
Yes, devotees of the world, who build upon the style of your neighbor's dress or equipage and trifle away God's precious moments in silly show and vain trumpery, go to the retreats at "Gladswood," follow Phillip Lawson in his daily rounds, and if you will not, like him, feel your heart expand and seek aspirations of a higher mould a something which gives comfort each breath you draw, each word you utter and each thought you frame! then, we will make bold to say, your heart is irrevocably sealed beyond recall.

Frequent visits from the natives. Governor Phillip wounded by the natives with a spear. Natives again visit the settlement. Entertain the governor, etc. with a dance. Decorate themselves for that purpose.
"Phillip!" she cried, starting up, "I have been asleep!" "Yes, Emelie, for more than three hours, I am glad to say." "Oh, how inconsiderate of me! And Dorrie?" she questioned, in a quavering voice.
