At midnight we wore and stood to the S.E. And on the next day at noon, Cape Maria Van Diemen bore N.E. by N. distant about five leagues.
In the Gulf of Carpentaria he had also done some entirely original work. He had shown, for example, that Cape Van Diemen, represented as a projection from the mainland on all previous maps, was really part of an island, which he named Mornington Isle.
At daylight saw the land which we took to be Cape Maria Van Diemen bearing North-North-East, distant 8 or 9 Leagues. At Noon Latitude in per Observation 35 degrees 0 minutes South. Cape Maria Van Diemen bore North, distant 11 Leagues. Monday, 8th. Gentle breezes at North-East and pleasant weather. At 6 p.m. saw the land bearing East, and sometime after saw a Turtle upon the Water.
Tinman despatched a business letter to Annette, which brought back a vague, unbusiness-like reply. Two days afterward Mrs. Cavely reported to her brother the presence of Mr. Fellingham and Miss Mary Fellingham in Crikswich. At her dictation he wrote a second letter. This time the reply came from Van Diemen: "My DEAR MARTIN, Please do not go on bothering my girl.
At a meeting in the town he strove to win Van Diemen's voice in favour of a vote for further moneys to protect "our shores." Van Diemen laughed at him, telling him he wanted a battery.

Come you too, old Man; and where's that plucky little girl who stood by " "Was there a girl?" said Tinman. "Yes, and there was a boy wanted to help." Van Diemen pointed at Herbert. Tinman looked, and piteously asked, "Have you examined Marine Parade and Belle Vue? It depends on the tide!" "Here is little Jane, sir," said Mrs. Crickledon.

"Yes, papa," interrupted his daughter, "only you must consider that it may not be convenient to take us in at this hour so late." "It's not that, miss, begging your pardon," said Crickledon.
