The men who, in the beginning of January last, had boarded and carriedoff the boat belonging to Owen Cavanagh, were heard of again. About thelatter end of this month, a report was brought in, that a piratical boatwas infesting the harbour of Broken Bay, and the Hawkesbury. The dayfollowing, the governor received a letter signed by these men, in whichthey professed to repent of their former conduct, and imploredforgiveness. They said, they had been wrecked about 400 miles to thenorthward, when t...hey with difficulty got on shore, saving as much of theremains of Cavanagh's boat as enabled them to build a smaller, in whichthey had returned, and surrendered themselves to justice; pretending tohave had their eyes opened to the danger with which attempts at desertionfrom the colony must ever be attended, and promising to convince theminds of their ignorant countrymen that every such attempt must befollowed by inevitable ruin. The language of this letter was far abovethe capacity of any of the party; and the part of their story whichrelated to their building a boat capable of carrying the whole number sogreat a distance wore very little appearance of probability.
