But the channel proved afterwards to be a shifting one; the strong current round Cape Howe, and the southerly gales, often filled it with sand, and it was not until many years had passed, and much money had been expended, that a permanent entrance was formed. In the meantime all the trade of Gippsland was carried on first through the Old Port, and then through the new Port Albert.
'Fit enough to go for the Hawkesbury Guineas. I was up and fed him three hours ago. He's 'Bring him out, and be hanged to you, says Jim; 'we've no time for chat. The man went straight to the barn, and after a minute or two brought out a horse the same I'd ridden from Gippsland, saddled and bridled, and ready to jump out of his skin.
A detachment of border and native police had arrived from Sydney by the 'Shamrock', and some of them were intended as a reinforcement for Gippsland, "to strengthen the hands of the commissioner in putting down irregularities that at present exist there." Dr. Holmes was sending a mob of cattle over the mountains, and Mr.
Many a time has Martin come home to me complaining of it. We have no doubt on earth that Gippsland is a very fine place; but my brother has his idea's of dignity, you must know, and I only wish he had been more used to contradiction, you may believe me.

"She's a child, having her head turned by those Fellinghams. But she's honourable; she has sworn to me she would be honourable." "You do think I may as well give him a fright?" Tinman inquired hungrily. "A sort of hint; but very gentle, Martin. Do be gentle casual like as if you did n't want to say it. Get him on his Gippsland.
In the course of a year or two his affair got over Gippsland way through a mate of his who lived over there, and at last the story got to the ears of this girl, Bertha Bredt. She must have written a dozen letters to him, Aunt Bob said. She knew what was in 'em, but, of course, she'd never tell us. The Oracle only wrote one in reply.
