Thistle, with seven others, in a boat, on the inhospitable shores of Terra Anstralis. To this narrative, the following note is subjoined, which we shall here quote in Captain Flinder^s own words : ** This evening, Mr. Fowler» the lieutenant, told me a circumstance which I thought very extraordinary, and it afterwards proved to be more so. While we were lying at Spithead, Mr. Thistle was one day waiting on shore, and having nothing else to do, went to a certain old man, named Pine, to have his f...ortune told. The cunning man informed him that he was going on a long voyage, and that the ship, on arriving at her destination, would be joined by another vessel. That such was intended, he might have learnt privately ; but he added that Mr. Thistle would be lost before the other vessel joined. As to the man- ner of his loss the magician refused to give any information. My boat*s crew, hearing what Mr. Thistle said, went to con- sult the wise man, and after the prefatory information of a long voyage, they were told that they would be shipwrecked, but not in the ship they were going out in ; whether they would escape.
