We asked Colbee the name of the people who live inland, and he called them Boorooberongal; and said they were bad, whence we conjectured that they sometimes war with those on the sea coast, by whom they were undoubtedly driven up the country from the fishing ground, that it might not be overstocked; the weaker here, as in every other country, giving way to the stronger. We asked how they lived.
The first words which we could distinctly understand were, 'I am Colbee, of the tribe of Cadigal. The stranger replied, 'I am Bereewan, of the tribe of Boorooberongal. Boladeree informed him also of his name and that we were white men and friends, who would give him something to eat. Still he seemed irresolute. Colbee therefore advanced to him, took him by the hand and led him to us.
