" Captain Kelly had tried to enter the TASMANIAN NOMENCLATURE. 69 river from his whaleboat in 1815, bnt failed, and called it the Retreat. Alexander Pearce, the cannibal, was hanged at Hobart Town on July 19, 1824. His last confession, made to the Rev. Mr. Conolly, as reproduced in the Hobart Town "Gazette, " does not appear to confirm Fenton's account of the origin of the curious name of the Pieman River. The first time that he escaped from Macquarie Harbour, Pearce was accompanied by seven ot...hers, of whom three separated from the party. The others were all killed and eaten in turn, except Pearce, who reached the Derwent, and was, apparently, the first white man to pass overland from the nest Coast to the settled districts. He was captured, and sent back to Macquarie Harbour, whence he again escaped, with a convict named Cox. The two men travelled along the coast towards Port Dalrymple, and came, on the fifth day, to a river, which Pearce called King's River. Presumably, this was not the present King River.
