The cargo consisted mainly of foodstuffs, building and agricultural supplies, and farm animals. It was shipped by Henty & Co. for the whaling station at Portland, Vic., with James D. Liddell as master. The manifest was endorsed on 11 Oct. by the Collector of Customs, Henry Arthur, and the brigantine schooner sailed from Launceston, Tas., on 13 Oct. with Edward Henty, Henry Camfield, and four indentured servants on board. They began the pastoral settlement of the Port Phillip District on 19 Nov. 1834. The original is accessioned at M 5081; the photoprint copies at MS 7739.
