'Well, I hope we'll see something of you now you're here. 'Oh, I guess so, said John, a little frozen. 'Well, ta-ta, concluded Beatson, and he shook hands again and went. This was a cruel first experience. It was idle to blink facts: here was John home again, and Beatson Old Beatson did not care a rush.
"Great Scott!" he cried, "Beatson!" and shook hands with warmth. It scarce seemed he was repaid in kind. "So you're home again?" said Beatson. "Where have you been all this long time?" "In the States," said John "California. I've made my pile though; and it suddenly struck me it would be a noble scheme to come home for Christmas." "I see," said Beatson.
It appears also from the official records, that the trees were unexpectedly, some years afterwards, succeeded by a wire grass which spread over the whole surface. General Beatson adds that now this plain "is covered with fine sward, and is become the finest piece of pasture on the island."
Talking of travel: the Legislative Council at Sydney have granted L.2000, to fit out an expedition to search for Leichardt; Captain Beatson, with his steamer, is about to start for Behring's Strait to look for Franklin; Lieutenant Pim has returned from St Petersburg the emperor would not permit him to go to Siberia; and last, supplies of money and goods have been sent out to Drs Barth and Overweg, in Central Africa, to enable them to pursue their discoveries; and the British resident at Zanzibar has been instructed to assist them.

That night the Americans abandoned Fort Mifflin. Their loss, Beatson says, amounted to near 400 killed and wounded; that of the British to 43. If this be correct, it should have established the invincibility of men who under such prodigious disparity of suffering could maintain their position so tenaciously.
Beatson, who was her printer. To Mr. Beatson's they drove though Betty professed that she was half unwilling to inquire for Miss Hodges from any one whose name did not begin with a p, and end with a t. "What a pity it is," said Mrs.
The horse was not to be found, but the officious informers from the first village eagerly pointed out where it had been stabled. In consequence of this information, and to stimulate the tribesmen to carry out the original terms, Mr. Davis decided to make an example and authorised Major Beatson to destroy the house of the owner of the stolen property. This was accordingly done.
