ANTICTPATING that
remarks
of an unfavourable
character
may be provoked
by the lessened
bulk of this publication,
and the absence
from it of the Map by which it has been
accompanied
during the last two years, the Pub li sher begs
to state that
the work has never
yet repaid
him for the
labor and expense bestowed
upon it, and he has, therefore,
determined
to make it a less costly - but he trusts not less
useful-compendium
of information.
The Country Directory has been very materially
and
extensively altered and amended, and the Publisher will,
as heretofore, be grateful for any corrections or alterations
supplied by country residents.

ECLIPSES.
in the year 1864 there wi ll be two Eclipses , both of the gulf, neither of
which will be visible in the inhabited port ions of this Colony-L--An Eclipse of the Sun , ( total , except near the positions of central
beginning and ending ), May 6th, 1864,
II,-4n
annular Eclipse of the Sun, October 30th, 1864.
NOTESFOR THE CALENDAR.
--.-TIM Moon's Age is given at noon, and is the mean time elapsed since
the Moon's ecliptic
conjunction
with the Sun , or since the Sun and Moon
had the same longitude . The numbers
in the " Moon 's Age" column
are
calculated for Brisbane ,and are expressed in days and decimal parts
of
a day.
The diRerence in time between high water at the Bar and Brisbane is
one hour ; between Brisbane and Ipswich, three bours . This applies as a
general rule, but the actual time of high water is frequently in fluenced by
strong nort herly and easterly gales, and violent freshes in the River.
When the Sun is south of the Equator , the day tides in the southern
hemisphere are the highest; when north of the Equator , the night tides
are highest . These changes will take place about the second or third spring
tide after the sun has crossed the Equinox.
The day tides wi ll be the
highest until the first spring tide in April, when the night tides will take
pre cedence until the new moon in October , after which the day tides will
again take precedence
.

Superintendent
for Pucn's ALMANAC, by Ms. WALTER HILL,
of the Botanical Gardens, Brisbane.
JANUARY.
Fruit and Kitchen Garden .- Watch the fluctuations of the
Weather, and endeavour to do all sowing and planting whilst the
g ro und is in a mellow state . Sow turnips , carrots, celery, cau li flower , Brussels sprouts, cabbage , spinach, French beans, peas,
lettuce, radish , melons, and cucumbers . Broad beans may also
be sown , but they cease to be profitable at this late season ;
earth up, and top those advancing . Plant savoys, cabbages,
cau liflowers , &c., &c. (l ather herbs in flower for drying, and
articles for pickling . Ground should be loosened among fr uit
bearing trees , &c., &c. Examine vines and orange trees ; regulate and re move all useless gro wth, and thin super fluous fr uit
off the orange tre es, &c., &c.; gather during dry weather, any
kind of grapes which may ripen this month.
Flower G arden and Shrubberies .- Continue to carefu ll y regulate the growth of the twis ers, but avoid tying them too close,
and allow them to grow according to their natural habit as
much as circumstances will admit . Weed and water we ll the
flower beds of geraniums , verbenas , petunias , lobe lias, &c., &c. ;
dig up and store bulbs as soon as the leaves are withered.
Dahlias-examine
the early ties that they do not pinch ; loosen
them if they do, or the wind wi ll easily break them at that
point.
Field.-B re ak up land for wheat ; sow barley for green crop ;
plant maize for a winter crop, in rows four feet apart, and plant
in each row three feet distant. Dig out the early crop of potatoes, for if left in the ground they wi ll ro t. Persevere in keeping
down weeds in the cotton and sugar plantations.
GARDENING
CALENDAR.

FEBRUARY.
Fruit and Kitchen Garden.-During
dry weather gather any
kinds of fruit as they ripen ; oranges, peaches, &c., which were
too tender to be budded during the preceding month, may now
be subjected to that operation.
Brocoli and a few of the principal table vegetables , such as cabbage , peas, turnips , carrots,
onions, leeks, and salads, should be sown. Eschalots should now
be taken up if the leaves appear to decay. Thin out to about
six inches apart the spinach and turnips to double that distance
which was sown the early part of last month.

is the period in which to
lay the foundation of a sure supply of vegetables , onions, leeks,
peas , turnips, carrots , parsnips , beetroot , cabbage, cauli flower,
savoys , celery, &c., &c. The January sown cabbages wi ll now
be ready for transplanting.
It will be found a good plan in
digging ground to leave it in sha llow ridges, eighteen inches or
two feet apart, with some dung placed under the hollows in
which the plant must be set ; a few may also be planted in rows
one foot apart , and before they become large enough to crowd
each other in winter , every intermediate one may be drawn for
present use, leaving the others to come to maturity . Cauliflower,

The mean temperature
of the year 1860 was 68 deg. ; 1861,
68.1 deg. ; and of 1862, 68.6 deg. Temperature in 1860, highest
in the shade on February 19th (100.5) ; in the sun on January
13th (125.8) ; lowest on June 11th (31 deg.) In 1861, highest
in the shade on the 5th March (99.7) ; in the sun on the 4th
March (123.3) ; lowest on August 1st (35). In 1862, highest in
the shade on the 12th November (100.2), and in the sun on the
same day (126-8) ; lowest on August 16th (29 deg.)
NOTE.-The rain-fall for the twelve months ending September
30,1863, as shown by the table on page 35, was very considerable,
but about half the quantity fell during the months of February
and March.
In each of these months the rivers and creeks
were flooded in all parts of the colony, but more especially so in
February, when the Brisbane rose 6 feet above high water mark,
flooding all the waterside stores, &c., in the city ; and the Bremer
at Ipswich was swo llen 40 feet above the usual level at high
tides.
On referring to our Almanacs for past years, we find
that, in the twelve months ending 30th September, 1860, the
rain-fall amounted to 55.495 inches, in 131 days ; in the twelve
months ending September 30th, 1861, to 67.17 inches, in 157
days ; and in the twelve months ending September 30th, 1862,
to 35.40 inches, in 109 days.

MORETONBAY.
NORTHERN
ENTRANCE.
CAPE MORETON is the north-eastern
point of Moreton Island,
and is visible from a ship's deck eight leagues. When first seen
from the southward it appears to be detached, as the land
between it anti the higher points of the island is very low.
The outlying dangers are as follow :Smith's Rock.-This
danger, though of small extent, has not
more than seven feet water over it at low water.
Its position is
nearly midway upon a lute drawn between the outer extreme
of " Cape Moreton" and " Flinders' Rocks," and bears from the
Lighthouse N. by E.4 E. (easterly), distant two miles.
A ship can keep seaward of it by night so long as the light
is not brought southward of S.S.W.
W., or, by day, she will
be, at the least , one-third of a mile outside of it so long as
" Mount Tempest" (bearing S.S.W.) is open of Cape Moreton ;
while, if bound into the bay, a safe passage between it and the
SAILING
DIRECTIONS.
97
Cape will be ensured by not opening the " Ridge-tree Hills"
northward
of " North Point," with which they close, but are
seen over , on the bearing of S.W. ; W.
A black' nun buoy is placed B.S.W. 2 cables' distance from
the rock.
In thick weather a stranger , in navigating himself into the
pilot ground of Moreton Bay, should, according to the wind,
hug the foot of the Cape, which is bold on the south hand, or
borrow upon the breakers of Flinders ' Rocks on his no rt h hand,
rather than make free with the midway line of approach.
Flinders' Rocks.-These
are about one-third of a mile in
extent, and are dry at half-tide ; they lie N.N.E., distant three
miles from the northern projection of the Cape. The sea always
breaks upon these rocks.
Hectehison Shoal has not more than 22 feet water on it; it
is dange ro us to vessels with a heavy draught of water, and
should be avoided by Coasters on account of its broken water
when the It knot E.S.E. current sets against a stro ng easterly
wind.
This nucleus of a danger is situated two miles N. I W. from
F linders ' Rocks, Cape Moreton Lighthouse bearing N. J R.,
distant five and a-half miles , and the Southern Glasshouse W.
by S.
The Lighthouse
in line with the centre of Flinders' Rocks,
and bearing S. W., leads half-mile
ouTsmx this shoal ; or, to
ensure being I4siDE,the Lighthouse should not be brought
southward of S. by E.; while, to pass northward
of it, the
Glasshouses should not bear westward of W.S.W.;
but fishermen can find it, for a take of "schuapper,"
by bringing Mount
Tempest over the Yellow Sand Slip at North Point bearing
S. i W., and the Glasshouses bearing W. by S.
By night vessels are to the westward of the shoal while the
Kerosine Light at the Yellow Patch is in sight.
Vessels coming from the southward, requiring Pilots, should,
after passing Cape Moreton, haul up round the North Point of
Moreton Island, and keep a good look-out for the Pilot Vessel
or Boat, as the case may be-the
arrival of any vessel off the
Port, requiring a Pilot, being signalled from the Lighthouse
to the Pilot Station.
Should the wind be to the southward of
E.S.E., or the westward of N.N.W., vessels may anchor under
Moreton Island in safety (with the Yellow Patch bearing about
S.E.), from one to one and a-half miles from the beach.
N.B.-Strangers
making the Port of Moreton Bay would do
well to pay attention to any signals made from the Lighthouse
for their guidance.

PORTS
AND
HARBORS:
Directions for Ship Channel.-Vessels
intending
to enter
Moreton Bay by the Ship Channel should, after passing about
one mile north of Cape Moreton, steer W.; N. until the Black
Perch Buoy off the outermost extreme of the East Banks is past
on the port hand, or until the N.W. extreme of Comboyuro
Point bears S. by E. Mount Tempest (the highest land on the
island) will then bear S.S.E., and the Lighthouse E. by S.; S.
The depth of water will be seven and a-half fathoms at low water,
and the Buoy A will bear S.W. about a mile and a quarter distant.
The Glass Houses will be seen in clear weather, with the
highest (Burwa) bearing W. # S. After passing the Perch Buoy
a vessel may haul up W. by S., or, should the buoy not be seen,
a vessel may steer from the position given by the foregoing
bearings a S.W. by W. course for about two miles, which will
take a ship close to the northward
of Buoy B, chequered black
and white, Mount Tempest bearing &E. JS., and the Lighthouse
E. 4 S. A ship will then be to the westward of the East Banks,
and may steer for Moreton Island (bearing in mind that the
tides set directly across the channel), by keeping the Buoy B
and Mount Tempest a quarter of a point open on the port bow,
and passing the Red Buoy on the N.E. extreme of the West
Banks on the starboard,
and the Black Buoy on thesouth extreme of Hixson's Bank on the port hand-the
former Buoy
bearing about S.E.I S. one and a third miles from Buoy B. The
breadth of the channel between the East and West Banks is
about half -a-mile, and the banks are generally plainly discernible from an elevated position.
T"edes.-In the channel between the East and West Banks
the first of the ebb sets strong to the N.E. over the Banks ;
after half tide it takes a more northerly direction, and later, it
sets about N. and N.N.W. When the Tide is flood and the wind
easterly, vessels on rounding B Buoy should anchor until slack
water, as it is useless to attempt the S.Easterly reach while the
Tide is setting dead to leeward over the West Banks. '
Good anchorage in Yule's Roads will be found on the 6 Fathom
Bank abreast the Pilot Station when the Ship Patch is just open
to the westward of Cowan Cowan Point.
N.B.-Strangers
are advised not to attempt this channel
without a pilot, the Middle Channel offering many advantages
to vessels drawing less than 12 feet water.
Mariners are warned against the possibility of the buoys, in
exposed situations, being temporarily absent after heavy weather,
and the probability of their being for a time replaced by buoys
of a description differing from those previously notified.
BAILING
DIRECTIONS.
99
Directions for Middle Channel.-Vessels , after ro unding the
north point of Moreton Island, which is deep to within about a
cable's length, may haul up and steer W.S.W. until the Lighthouse comes on with a white beacon to the N.E. of the small
Ye ll ow Sand Patch. K eep these marks on until the Ship Patch
is open of Cowan Cowan Point . When Comboyuro Point bears
W.S.W. a vessel wi ll be near a Black Buoy placed on the eastern
edge of the Banks, which buoy she will pass on the port hand,
and before the Ship Patch opens of Cowan Cowan Point a
second Black Buoy wi ll be passed , which is placed on the N.W.
spit of the Bank . After hauling up keep the Ship Patch open
of Cowan Cowan Point, and proceed towards Yule's Roads.
With even a fair wind , vessels drawing 13 feet water should not
attempt this channel without a pilot.
Directions for Entering at Night.-Two
Kerosine Lights are
now exhibited on the north end of Moreton island, for the
purpose of assisting vessels to pass through the Middle Channel
into Moreton Bay at night.
One light is placed a little to the north -eastward of the Small
Ye llow Patch , 'and shows a fixed white light from about N. J E.
to W. by S. This light in a line with the Lighthouse leads in
through the Middle Channel, in, not less than sixteen feet water,
at low water spring tides,-th `e line of lights passing at two
cables' length , northward of the Inner Middle Channel Buoy.
Vessels coming from the northward wi ll be to the westward
of Hutchison's Shoal and Flinders ' Rocks while this light is
kept open.
Vessels from the southward will open the light shortly after
rounding the north point of Moreton Island. The light is visible
at a distance of at least seven or eight miles.
The second light is placed on Comboyuro Point, showing a
faint red to seaward , i.e., from about N. by E. J E. eastward.
Vessels wi ll be clear of the east banks while the red light is
kept open. It is obscured between N. by E. J E. and N.N.W.,
where it again shows out as a bright white fixed light, and
remains visible fr om thence to the W.S.W. of Comboyuro Point.
The foll owing directions are to be observed by vessels entering
at night :Steer with the light on Small Ye llow Patch on with Lighthouse, until the bright white light on Comboyuro Point opens
out (the red light on Comboyuro Point having been shut out
just before entering the Middle Channel ).
Then haul up and
steer south, until the Ye llow Patch Light is shut out, when haul

AND
IIARBORS:
abreast the spit of the bank between Freeman 's and the Middle
Channel.
Due allowance must of course be made, after hauling up to
the southward , for the proportionate speed of the vessel, and
the rate of the tide, which rims N.N .E. and S.S.W . from two to
three knots.
Directions for Freeman 's Channel. - No vessels should makeuse of this channel, except constant traders to the port, as the
Banks are continua lly undergoing changes in their formation,
and the position of the channel is always altering.
It is high water, full and change , at Comboyuro Point at
9h. 30m ., and the rise is from three to seven feet. String southeasterly winds cause the gre atest rise, but, during the prevalence
of westerly winds in winter , the ri se is sometimes scarcely
perceptible . The general set of the flood in the bay is to the
south , and the ebb to the north , though in many places the
direction of the stream is altered by the shoals.
Directions from Comboyuro Point to the Bar.-From
Comboyuro to Cowan Cowan Point the shore is tolerably bold of
approach ; vessels should , however, keep the Ship Patch open
to the westward of Cowan Cowan Point.
Anchorage may be obtained , as before stated, on the 6 Fathom
Bank abreast of the Pilot Station , or off the position marked
on the charts as the watering place, in fr om 12 to 14 fathoms,
half-a-mile from the shore , whe re wood and water can be ottained. Vesselsof lightdraught of water can anchor on the
edge of the Bank in about two and a-half fathoms
The shore between Cowan Cowan and the Ship Patch is
fr onted by a narrow bank, upon which there is not more than
five feet at low water. The south part is about a mile off shore,
but the anchorage inside is not accessible for large vessels.
When Cowan Cowan Point bears about N.N.E. a direct course
can be steered S.S.W. for the River Bar, passing a Red Buoy
on the S.W . spit on the starboard , and a Black Buoy on the
Middle Bank on the port hand. Anchorage off the Bar will be
found by the lead according to draught of water. For vessels
of heavy draught the trees on Mud Island sbould be brought
to bear about E. by S. 2 S.: Lightship about S. by W.
Directions for Crossing Brisbane Bar.-To
cross the Brisbane
Bar, keep Mount Gravatt on with a small dip in the near bushes
to the westward of the entrance of the river until Mount Cotton
is seen to the westward of the Inner East Beacon, when a vessel
should haul up for Mount Cotton , keeping that hill between the
West and Inner Fast Beacon , which marks will clear the banks
on either side.
SAILING
DIRECTIONS.
101
At night keep the light on the West Beacon open to the westward of the red light on the East Beacon (this light should
not be opened more than one-fourth
of the distance between
the E. Beacon light and the Lightship),
and pass the East
Beacon at half a cable's length.
SOUTH ENTRANCE TO MORETON BAY.
Two red beacons-visible
from the Flat Rock-are
now
placed on the South extreme of Moreton Island, to enable
vessels entering Rous's or the Amity Point Channel to pass
between the outer banks and over the Bar in the deepest water,
viz., seventeen feet at low water spring tides.
This Channel is chiefly available for Coasting Steamers dining
daylight, when there is not a heavy swell setting in on, the
coast.
It is not recommended
for the use of Sailing Vessels, except
in fine weather, and with a commanding breeze, that will allow
them to lay four points to windward of their course.
The coast current runs at from two to three knots to the
southward,
close to the outer edge of the Bar, and at a lesser
speed over the outer portion of the banks, so that, during
northerly winds, vessels should be careful not to allow themselves to get to the southward of the line of Beacons until well
inside the North Break. The tides set fair through this Channel,
at a rate varying from three to four and a-half knots, until they
come within the influence of the coast current.
The sea always breaks on the north bank, but the space over
which the sea breaks on the south bank varies with the amount
of swell on the coast.
Seven red and six black buoys and beacons mark the Channel
for crossing the Bay towards Mud Island, between the inner
banks.
'There is not less than two fathoms at low water spring tides
in this channel, except at a point of junction with the Cleveland
Ship Channel, where the depth of water is never less than nine
feet at low water, spring tides.
Directions-Vessels
from the southward intending to enter
Moreton Bay by the South or Amity Point entrance, or Row's
Channel, must, after passing either inside or outside of the Flat
Rock, keep the northernmost
Sand Patch on Moreton Island on
the port bow, until the two Red Beacons on the south extreme
of Moreton Island (the innermost of which is the higher of the
two, and is surmounted by a Red Ball) are in a line: keep these
beacons in line until inside the north break, when haul up to
102
PORTS
AND
HARBORS:
the southward gradually, keeping at about a cable's length from
the edge of the North Bank, which is steep to and always
shows ; when near the detached sandbank haul up for the N.W.
extreme of Stradbroke Island, and round the Red Buoy off the
shoal extending to the S.W. of the detached sandbank, after
passing which keep away West, and pass at two cables' length
from the S.W. extreme of Moreton Island, which is steep to;
leave the first Black Buoy on the port hand at a distance of
about half a cable, and haul up W. by S. for the S.E. end of the
high land on St. Helena.
After passing the second Black Buoy
and two Red Beacons on the starboard hand, haul up S.S.W.
for a Black Beacon about two miles distant, keeping it on with
the eastern extremity of Mount Cotton, passing the third Red
Beacon placed on the edge of a sandspit on the starboard hand,
and continuing the same course until abreast the second Red
Buoy, when keep away W. by S. 4 S., and pass the fourth Red
Beacon ; from thence keep away for and pass on the port hand
the third Black Beacon at a distance not exceeding half a cable,
and steer out W. by N. T N. in mid-channel between the inner
Black and Red Buoys.
When these buoys are passed a vessel is in the Ship Channel
to Cleveland, across which a course must be steered for the
centre of the opening between Mud and St . Helena Islands ; a
mid-channel course must be kept between these islands, and a
vessel may from thence steer foi the anchorage off the Bar.
A Red Buoy is placed off the S.W. extreme of the shoal off
Mud Island.
Vessels outward -bound through the South Entrance should,
after passing Mud Island , steer for the north extreme of high
land on Stradbroke Island, until a small smooth -topped cone
near the north end of Stradbroke Island bears E. by S. 4 S.,
when they should haul up and steer for it, passing the inner
Red and Black Buoys, and passing the inner Black Beacon as
previously directed.
Plans of the South Entrance can be obtained at the Port
Office.

ISLAND
STRAIT,
AND THE MARY
RIVER.
DIaECTIoNS.
A vassal having made Double Island Point-a
bold bluff headland, safe to approach - to the third of a mile, look out for a rock
awash (which always shews,) lying due north, about a mile from
the Point. The rock is safe to approach on all sides to two
cables' lengths, and there is a good passage between it and the
Point.
Having passed outside the ro ck at a convenient distance,
steer N .W. by N. ; after running on this course 4 or 5 miles the
entrance will be seen opening out to the southward of the termination of the high land of Prazer's Island . Do not app ro ach the
land nearer than 5 miles , as the shoal water forming the Bar
extends out nearly that distance ; it is steep to, and shows itself
by the discoloration of the water in fine weather, and by the
break if there is any swell on. Stand to the northward until the
ho ll ow in the centre of Baupal Mountain , a very conspicuous
mark on the mainland, is shut in behind the high land on
Ilrazer's Island, the North Head bearing about S.W. by W. 4 W.
Keep these marks on until across the Bar, when haul up for the
entrance.
Should Baupal Mountain be obscured by thick
weather or other causes, bring the North,Heads and the point
of land which forms the South Heads on with each other (the
sandy beechesand not the bushes touchingeach other),and
cross the Bar with these marks on. A vessel will not have less
104
PORTS AND HARBORS
than 3 fathoms upon the Bar if following these directions.
The
Spit running out in an E.N.E. direction from the South Head
nearly always breaks, and will easily be seen ; borrow a little
on the south side as you approach the entrance, to avoid a spit
running out a third of a mile from the North Read. This is the
best entrance for a stranger, as there is less chance of mistaking
the marks, as the Baupal mountain is the only high land visible
in that direction.
It shews itself immediately after passing the
high land of Double Island Point, and is about twenty miles
from the coast.
In westerly winds or smooth water there is a Channel further
to the westward, with 2} or 3E fathoms in it (according to tide).
To enter by this channel, after passing Double Island Point, half
a mile distant, and inside of the detached rock steer N.W. by N.;
when the entrance is beginning to show, a sand patch will be
seen at the south end of a range of low sand hills or cliffs, which
terminate at their northerly extreme in a low sandy point ; bring
this patch on with an abrupt elbow or fall in the high backland

ship's head will be about N.W. } N., and Double Island Point

2l or 31 fathoms (according to tide) ; when on the shoalest part
Baupal Mountain will be just opening out to the northward of
the South Head ; keep the marks on ; you will carry 3 to 3g
fathoms, three quarters of a mile after which the water will deepen
to 5 fathoms, when you may haul round the Spit and steer for
the entrance.
In strong S.E. or easterly winds the sea breaks heavily upon
the Bar, rendering it unsafe to cross, and this is particularly the
case in summer months, when the sun is to the southward of
the Equator, more especially in the months of February, March,
and April, when the wind is almost always blowing from the
S.E. and eastward . A vessel would have notice of the state of
the Bar by the swell on the coast- before reaching Moreton
Island, where she might shelter, or might, if she thought it
desirable, run round the north entrance by Breaksea Spit ; but
supposing the SWELLis not great , the Bar is quite safe to enter
though breaking across ; the break is always much less towards
high water.

In consequence of the erroneous impression likely to be conveyed to Masters and Owners of Vessels, from the name of Wide

latter port will in future be styled " Maryborough, Hervey's
Bay," and not Maryborough, Wide Bay.
The necessity for this is apparent1. Because vessels from beyond the seas, bound to Mary.
borough, instead of entering Wide Bay, pass ninety miles
to the northward of it, and round Breakses Spit.
2. Wide Bay is described in the Admiralty Australian
Directory as affording no shelter during gales from seaward ; Wide Bay Harbor, as only accessible by crossing
a dangerous bar, with from two to three fathoms water
upon it, and the Channel from thence towards Maryborough, between Great Sandy Island and the main land,
as being hardly navigable for boats.

until within five miles of Sandy Point.

INNE R ROUTE PROM SANDY CAPE TO CAPE
GLOUCESTER.
THE Inner Route is the passage between the Great Barrier
reefs and the east coast of Australia from Sandy Cape to Cape
York, a distance of about 1050 miles. There are two entrances
into it from the south-eastward, one being the Curtis, and the
other the Capricorn Channel.
108
PORTS
AND
HARBORS:
CURTIS CHANNEL is entered between Breaksea Spit and
Lady Elliot Isle, where it is 28 miles broad; the centre of the
entrance, in which is about 18 fathoms water, being from 8 to
10 miles within the 100-fathoms edge of the bank of soundings.
The channel passes between the Bunker and Capricorn Groups
and the main land from Bustard Bay to Cape Capricorn, then
to the north-westward, along the coast by Capes Manifold and
Townshend, and afterwards between 2nd and 3rd Northumber
land Isles, and to the westward of the Percy Isles. The soundings are regular, and there no not ap
to be any other dangers
than those already described ; but, being more circuitous than
the Capricorn Channel, the latter should be selected by vessels
proceeding direct to Torres Strait by the Inner route.
CAPRICORN CHANNEL is the broadest, shortest, and most
safe entrance into the Inner route from the southward.
It
passes between the Capricorn group and the main land about
Port Bowen to the westward, and Swain Reefs to the eastward,
and then to the eastward of the Percy Isles ; its average breadth
being about 60 miles.
Soundings.-The
depth gradually decreases from 80 fathoms
in mid-channel, between the Capricorn Group and south extreme
of Swain Reefs, to 30 fathoms abreast of Port Bowen.
The
bed of the channel is a continuation
of the bank of soundings
extending from Breaksea Spit to the Bunker and Capricorn
Groups ; the 100-fathoms edge of which, in mid-channel, being
nearly in line between the Bunker Group and the south extreme
of Swain Reefs. The soundings are regular right across, from
Swain Reefs to the Capricorn Group, and to the main land,
varying from 60 to 25 fathoms.
The nature of the bottom sometimes differs, but in general it
is either a very fine sand or a soft olive-colored clay and mud,
with occasional patches of black shelly, or coral sand.
Should the depth of water decrease to less than 40 or 35
fathoms in the vicinity of the Capricorn Group, it is necessary
to keep a sharp look-out for the islands and reefs. Great caution
is also requisite in approaching
the south extreme of Swain
Reefs, as there are 50 and 60 fathoms water close to it.
Caution .-It may not here be amiss to remark that, although
the lead should never be neglected in these seas, it must not be
too implicitly trusted, as most of the reefs and coral patches
(with which the northern part of the Inner route especially
abounds ) spring up so abruptly from the bottom that the lead
frequently gives no warning of their vicinity before a vessel
approaches too near to avoid them.
A keen look-out from the
mast-head , cool judgment, and ready action may, therefore, be

urgedas a general rifle to ensure successful navigation amongst
the reefs. To these hints it will be only necessary to add that a
vessel should never be steered in the glare of the sun, except
over such ground as may be safely navigated in the darkest
night, as the glare makes it impossible to see the different colors
of the water inidcating dangers to be avoided.
Tides.-The
strength of the flood sets in about W. by N.,
and the ebb out in the contrary direction, from It to 2 knots ;
but, from the prevalent south-easterly winds, it is to be presumed that a greater degree of north-westerly set will occasionally
be experienced.
From PERCY ISLES to CAPE GLOUCESTER.-There
are two
channels from the Percy Isles to Cape Gloucester,; one to the
eastward, and the other to the westward of the Northumberland
and Cumberland Islands ; but the distance by the Eastern and
Western channels being nearly the same, either may be adopted.
The Inner channel runs between the islands and the main land,
which afford numerous and good guiding marks ; whereas the
Eastern or outer channel, though wide, passes at a greater
distance from the islands on the western side, and is chiefly
bounded to the eastward by dangerous and imperfectly known
reefs, instead of islands and the main land.
The EASTERN or OUTER CHANNEL is bounded to the eastward by Bell Cay, the inner limits of the barrier thence to the
sand-banks westward of islets K 4a. and K 4., a dry sand-bank
seen by Captain Flinders nearly N. by E. 12 miles from L 2., and
the irregular edge of the reefs to the north-eastward
of the
northernmost Cumberland Island.
It is bounded to the westward by 1st Northumberland
Isle,
the Percy Isles, K 1., K., K 2,, and L 2., and the chain of islets,
rocks, and reefs fronting the northern cluster of the Cumberland Islands.
A dangerous shoal, not laid down in the charts, is said to exist
three miles E.S.E. of the S.E. extreme of the N.E. Percy Island ;
but it lies out of the track of vessels running through the Outer
or Eastern passage.
The greatest breadth of the Eastern channel is about 30
miles, between Bell Cay and 1st Northumberland
Isle, and its
least breadth is 5 miles, between the sand-bank to the westward
of K 412. and K. Isles.
The soundings are regular varying from
25 to 37 fathoms.
The bottom is in some places mud, and in
others sand.
The WESTERN or INNER CHANNEL , as far northward as
Whitsunday
Passage, is bounded on the eastern side by the
Percy Isles, Bailey Islet, L 1., in., and Si; James Smith Group ;
110
PORTS
AND
HARBORS:
and on the western side by H. Isles, the Beverly Group, the
main land from Fresh-water Point to Point Slade, the shoals off
Shoal Point, Cape Hilsborough, and the Repulse Isles.
The least breadth of this channel is about 5 miles, between
the Beverly group and a line from No. 2 Percy Isle to Bailey
Islet ; and its greatest breadth is 23 miles, from Fresh-water
.Point to the same line. The soundings are generally regular,
the least depth being 4 fathoms, and the greatest 19 fathoms ;
the bottom is in most parts sand and mud.
The only known dangers in this channel are the rocks to the
southward, and north-westward
of Prudhoe Island, and the 4fathoms knoll between Shoal Point and L. Island.
Tides.-Between
Capes Hilsborough
and Conway the ebb
stream sets to the N.E., and the flood to the S.W., but they are
very irregular in the direction of the stream ; the greatest
strength is about 1} knots.
W'HITSDNDAY PASSAGE .-The northern termination of the
Inner channel just described is bounded to the eastward by
•Shaw, Passage, Whitsunday, and Hook Islands, and the islets
between Hook Isle and the northernmost
of the Cumberland
Islands ; and is bounded to the westward by the shoal extending from Cape Conway to Round Head, Molle Isles, and the
islets which lie scattered to the eastward of Cape Gloucester.
Spitfire Rock.-A
dangerous rock, awash at high water, lying
on the eastern side of the channel , at a distance of 11 miles fr om
the nearest point of land near Shaw Island , Shaw Peak bearing
N. 740 E., Cape Conway S. 490 30' W., magnetic.
The least breadth of Whitsunday Passage is 2 miles, between
Passage Isle and Pine Head, to the northward
of which it
increases to 4 and 7 miles . The soundings , on approaching
from the southward, increase suddenly at about 3 miles to the
southward of Cape Conway from an 8 and 9 fathoms flat of fine
sand and mud , to 20 and 25 fathoms, and even deep water, on
a very coarse bottom.
Tides .- It is high water in Whitsunday Passage, fu ll and
change, at 11h. The shores on either side of the passage being
bold, may be approached without any other apprehension than
may arise from the strength of the streams , which run 3 knots
during springs, and the velocity is sometimes greater . They do
not appear to set so stro ng on the eastern side, between Shaw
and Passage Isles ; and the contrary in the vicinity of Port
Molle.
The ebb and flood streams are appare ntly regular,
setting 6 hours each way, the ebb to the northward, and the
flood to the southward.
At Port Molle the greatest rise of tide
observed did not exceed 10 feet, although Captain King noticed

k.
DIRECTIONS.
IN making Port Curtis, either from the northward
Mount Larcom may , as a general rule, be first steere
the adjacent hills are clearly made out.
A vessel from the southward , entering by the South Channel,
should, after passing by the rocky islets lying off Bustard Head,
bring Mount Larcom in line with Ciatcombe Head , and steer for
them so until Peaked Hi ll (a remarkable mountain , 2000 feet
in height , 15 miles to the south-westward of Rodd Bay) is in
line with the highest of the Seal Rocks, B.S.W. j W. ; then
steer S.W. ; S. for two and three-quarters miles (making due
allowance for the strength of the stream), or until Mount Laroom
is about a quarter of a point open to the northward of Round
Hi ll , the latter bearing W . by N., which would placd a vessel
about half -a-mile to the N.N.W. of the highest of the Seal
Rocks ; a W. by N. ; N. course (all owing for the stre am, and
keeping South Trees Point we ll open to the southward of
C[atcombe Head ) will then lead directly into the harbor , passing
at about three -quarters of a mile to the southward of Gatcombe
Head . A secure anchorage may be chosen, if necessary, off
Observation Poin t- the nea re r the shore, with safety , the better,
as the tide stream runs fr om one and a-half to two knots at a
third of a mile off. Vessels genera lly select this as a fairway
anchorage when waiting to proceed to sea ; and those of the
largest size may safely go up, and anchor in six fathoms in the
stream between Barney and Auckland Points.
In entering the South Channel fr om the northward , a vessel
should make for Hummock Hi ll, keeping it on a south bearing,
and taking care not to bring it to the eastward of S. J E., in
order that the eastern edge of East Banks may be cleared.
When the Seal Rocks are distinctly made out, approach them on
their northern side (which is steep -to) until Mount Larcom is
about a quarter of a point open to the northward of Round Hi ll,
W. by N . ; then proceed up the harbor as above directed.

Channel, should, when the land is clearly recognized, bring the
extreme of Gatcombe Head to bear S.W. by W., when it will he
in line with Settlement Point, and should be kept so until the
eastern coast of Facing Island is shut in by the east point of
the Island ; a vessel will then be clear of the north-west end of
the East Banks and of the shoal water off Facing Point, and
may round the south-east end of Facing Island.
Keep about a
quarter of a mile outside Settlement Point and the detached
rock off Gatcombe Head, taking care to steer clear of the 3*
fathom knoll off the head. A berth may then be taken up as
beforedirected.
Vessels proceeding along the coast from the northward
towards Port Curtis should not approach the shores of Facing
Island, within three miles-rocks,
which are not laid down in
the charts, running out f rom the land nearly to that distance.
TIDES.-It
is high water in Port Curtis, full and change, at
9h. 30m.; the rise being from ten to twelve feet. The tides
here are much affected by the prevailing winds, and the stream
at times sets very strong in the channels.
KEPPEL
BAY.
ON rounding Cape Capricorn steer about W. by N. for the
Second Lump, until Broad Mount opens to the northward of
the outer Keppel Rock, being careful to pass the Black Buoy ON
the Cottier Bank on the port hand.
Theh steer for the centre
of Broad Mount until South Hill is well open of Sea Hill.
South Hill will then bear about South by compass.
Strangers
should pass outside the Black Buoy off the "Timandra"
Bank,
which extends off the shore between Sea Hill and the Keppel
Rocks. On the edge of this bank the water shoals very suddenly.
Several patches of dangerous rocks exist, and only partly show
at very low tide. Here the "Timandra"
was lost.
After passing the Black Buoy off the Timandra Bank steer
with South Hill on port bow. Safe anchorage will be found in
about six fathoms water by bringing Sea Hill to bear about N.E.;
also good safe anchorage in from three to five fathoms by Curtis
Island, taking care to avoid a bank that lies off Salt Creek.
This bank is in & line drawn from Sea Hill Point one and a-half
mile to South Hill, and shows well at low water.
The Pilot Station is situated on the " Grassy Hills," a point
of land between Cape Keppel and Sea Hill, and vessels are
boarded by the Pilots off the Keppel Rocks.

BROAD SOUND.
DIRECTIONS.
THE entrance of Broad Sound is between the North Point
Islands and West Hill, a remarkable mount, bearing W. by N.
N. 20 miles from the western North Point Island.
The numerous creeks with which Broad Sound is intersected
are mostly dry at low water, affording entrance only to boats,
which of necessity must ground at every tide. The best anchorage for Coasting Vessels on the west side of the Sound is
that in the mouth of the Styx, in three fathoms at low water.(See Chart.)
In approaching B ro ad Sound a good look-out should be kept
for the numerous rocks and shoals in its vicinity.
Enter
between the North Point Islands and the Flat Islands, where
there is a channel of fourteen fathoms, which decreases quickly
on approaching
the upper part of the Sound ; after passing
about midway between those islands , steer S . } E. about sixteen
miles, until Pine Mount bears E. by S., which will be about six
miles from the shore, in six and a-half fathoms ; and from
thence steer S.E., or for the Upper Head, where a vessel may
lie in safety at about one mile to the eastward of the Head, in
four fathoms.
All vessels trading to Broad Sound should be well supplied
with good ground tackling.

PIONEER
DI
RIVER.
u1CTIONS.
VESSELS on nearing the Pioneer River can always recognize its
position by its proximity to two Islands, lying north-west and
south-east, one mile apart ; that to the south-east being roundtopped and moderately high, while that to the north-west,
although about the same height, is flat-topped.
The entrance to the Pioneer is about one and a-half mile
south-west of the flat-topped island.
A bar extends across the
mouth of the river, which nearly dries at low water springs,
and from thence the depth of the channel, which has an average
width of one cable, varies from one foot to seven feet at low

water , until within about three -quarters of a mile of the settlement, when it again almost dries across , and from thence the
depth gradually increases until abreast the settlement, which is
about four miles from the bar, and where there is about six feet
at low water in the centre of the channel.
There is a rise and fall on the bar from ten and a-half feet to
sixteen feet, and at the settlement, of from nine feet to thirteen
feet, so that most of the vessels trading on the coast can enter
the port without difficulty.
The directions
for entering
are as followvs:To cross the bar, keep a double hummock, which is about
eight miles distant, its own width to the southward of some low
sandhills on the beach. A vessel may haul up when the island
to the south -east of Slade Point is we ll shut in with trees on the
extreme east point, but should be careful not to stand over so
as to shut in L Island with that point.
The channel then runs
in a north by west direction towards the steep shore on the west
side of east point. As that point is neared the edge of the
banks is mo re clearly defined. They are there steep to, and
may be approached within a reasonable distance.
The channel
then runs along the starboard sho re , until a sandy cliffy point is
passed , and the settlement opened out to the westward, for
which a vessel may then haul up and steer , being careful , after,
passing the point on the port hand , to keep that shore on board
until abreast of the settlement.
Vessels intending to enter the Pioneer River should not run
down on the lee shore when it is blowing hard fr om the east or
south-east, but should anchor under some of the islands off the
coast until the weather moderates.
In moderate south-easterly
weather a vessel would find sufficient shelter under the lee of
the flat-topped island, being careful to avoid a sandspit running
off the south extreme of that island, towards the east point at
the entrance of the river. There is a good passage, about halfa-mile wide , between this spit and the shoal water off the main
land.
When in mid-channel the island to the south-east of
Slade Point is on with the peak of M Island.
The entrance of
the river is sheltered by the islands during north-easterly winds.
Vessels should carefully avoid the dangerous reef to the northward of the two islands off the Pioneer, and lying nearly midway between those islands and the island to the south-east of
Slade Point.
There is, however, a clear passage between this
reef and the main land , and also between Slade Point and the
small island lying off the shore. There is also a passage between
the round and flat-topped islands.

On entering the river while any tide % gunning,
the banks
are generally visible, and there is little difficulty in navigating
the river if proper attention is paid, and the lead kept going.
From the narrowness of the channel, the port is not well suited
for vessels of any great length.
N.B.-Heavy
freshes occasionally alter the formation of the
sand-banks in the Pioneer River.
Any changes, however, will

ISLAND
AFTER, rounding the north-eastern
end of Gloucester Island
(within a mile) steer S. W. by W. j W., taking care to avoid
the reef off the south-west side of Middle Island, as the ebb tide
will set you in that direction ; this reef extends a full mile and
a quarter to the S.W. from the centre of the Island.
•
The above course will (making allowance for the tide) take
you to the North Entrance : Stone Island forms the South Head,
and a small rocky island the North Head, at the back of which,
and at the Lower part of Flagstaff Hill the houses at the Pilot
Station will be seen a considerable distance.
In entering the port by this channel avoid the reef off the
South Head (Stone Island), on which there are two black nun
buoys laid in two fathoms low water.
Entering
somewhat
closer to North Head, and when abreast of the same, steer for
Middle Hill (a small cone on the main land midway between
Mount Gordon and Mount Bramston), which course will take
you in with not less than 21 feet (low) water ; taking care to
avoid a spit extending off Point Dalrymple, on which there are
two red nun buoys laying in two fathoms low water ; after
rounding the second red buoy then keep away for the township.
It is to be observed by these directions that on entering the
1*
116
PORTS
AND
HARPORS:
port the blackbuoys are to be kept on the port hand and the
red on the starboard.
Vessels rounding Gloucester Island at night time, with dark
boisterous weather, should (with the wind from the southward
or eastward ) keep within a quarter of a mile of the island, as it
is steep close to, and by making a tack, they will be able to
select by the lead and smoothness of the water a convenient
anchorage in from seven to four fathoms under Gloucester
Island.
There is also excellent anchorage in from three to five fathoms
on the east side of the head of Edgecumbe Bay ; the soundings
are very regular in all parts of the bay, and shoal very regularly,
giving timely warning of being near the land.
Vessels having worked into the bay during the night, it is
advisable that they should enter the port by the south channel,
this being the best entrance to Port Denison, having the greatest
width, and also the greatest depth of water. Ships entering the
port by this channel should steer direct for Thomas 's Island,
keeping a mile south of Stone Island, as there is a reef extending
off it, off which there are two beacons or buoys, one on the
S.E. and the other on the N.W. end of the reef, both of which
are to be kept on the starboard hand.
A good look-out in daylight will show the position of the reef ; there is also a bush
beacon on the Sandspit off Stone Island.-(See

passing the latter a direct course can be shaped for the township, and anchorage may be taken up according to draught of
water.
When the sea is too heavy for a pilot to get off, the sailing
directions for the north passage should be attended to ; a pilot
will then be obtained in the fairway at the north entrance.
PORT ALBANY AND EVANS BAY.
TEE narrow strait which separates Albany Island from the
main land is so straight in its general direction that it may be
seen through from end to end. Its average width is 34 cables,
and the depth of water from 6 to 13 fathoms.
It is clear of
dangers, with the exception of the rock awash, on the ledge
projecting a quarter of a mile to the south-westward
of Frederick Point, and from which shoal water extends south -eastward
to the next point.
Water.-On
the south-west side of Albany Pass, and nearly
opposite Port Albany, is a small candy bay, with some low
s`'ampv
gro),nd behind
the beach, where a never-failing
SAILING
DIRECTIONS.
117
supply of fresh water can be easily procured by digging ponds
2 or 3 feet deep, a few yards above high-water mark.
Water
can also be obtained in small quantities on Albany Island.
Directions.-A
vessel from the southward proceeding to Port
Albany, having cleared the shoal patches lying 1; miles to the
westward of Z. Reef, should bring the peak of York Islewhich is easily keen through Albany Pass-on
with the outer
extreme of Osnaburg Point ; this mark will clear the shoals
extending to the south- eastward from Fly and Ulrica Points,
and lead the vessel in mid-channel up to Port Albany.
In coming from the northward, and rounding Eborac Isle at
a distance of about a quarter of a mile, a vessel will have Albany
Pass plainly open, and may steer-making
due' allowance for
the tidal stream-S.E.
J E. for it, passing at a-third of a mile
outside Sextant Rock.
When the centre of Ida Isle bears
South, haul in for it until Albany Pass is again quite open, and
by keeping it so the rocky spit projecting from Frederick Point,
and the edge of the shoal from Ida Isle to Osnaburg Point, will
be avoided.
If the west extreme of Albany Island touches Fly
Point, the vessel will be too far to the north-eastward
; and if
the west extreme of the island approaches too near Osnaburg
Point, she will be too far to the south-westward.
Albany Pass being narrow, with high land on either side, a
large sailing vessel should not attempt it, except under very
favorable circumstances, as the strong tidal streams would, with
baffling winds, render her unmanageable ; but, with a commanding breeze blowing through, a vessel may run against the stream,
anchor in mid-channel abreast of Port Albany, and haul in and
moor.
A steamer or sma ll saili ng vessel would find but little
difficulty in entering , and might anchor and moor as just directed
for a sailing vessel.
Tides.-The
streams are very rapid in Albany Pass, and cause a
confused sea when running in an opposite direction to the wind.
EVANS BAY extends from three-quarters
of a mile to 1
miles to the south-eastward
from the extremity of Cape York,
between Evans and Ida Points.
The former is a double rocky
sloping down from the foot of Mount Bremer ; the latter,
which forms the south-east point of the bay, is also rocky, with
a high narrow island of the same name, nearly half- a-mile long,
East and West, immediately to the eastward of it. A sandy
beach forms the shore between these extremes of the bay, the
greater portion being backed by scrub and stunted trees,
As shoal water extends from the beach to a line from Evans
Point to Ida Island, there is not sufficient depth within for any
other than sma ll vessels ; but the best anchorage for large

PORTS
AND
HARBORS:
vessels in the south-neat monsoon is in 62 fathoms, sand and
mud, with Ida Point bearing S. 2 W., and Sextant Rock-which
lies half-a-mile to the eastward of Evans Point-in
line with
the east end of Eborac Isle. In the north-west monsoon there
is better shelter a little more to the W.N.W., at a quarter of a
mile from Sextant Rock.
Water may be procured in wells dug at the back of the beach
in Evans Bay, some at a third of a mile inside Ida Point, and
othersthree-quarters
of a mile fartherto the north-westward.
Even when blowing hard, there is seldom so much surf on the
beach as to prevent boats bringing off water ; the only inconvenience is the strength of the tidal streams, which set N.W.
and S.E., the greatest strength being 2 knots.
Sextant Rock, which is flat, and only 3 or 4 feet above highwater mark, is situated on the inner edge of a bank 2 miles
long, S.E. and N.W., fronting Evans Bay. Vessels not drawing
more than 10 feet may cross any part of this bank ; but large
vessels should not attempt it on the north-west side of Sextant
Rock, nor to the south-eastward of it, without great caution, on
account of some 32-fathoms knolls ; those most in the way of
vessels passing outside, or entering Evans Bay from the northward, lying half-a-mile to the north-eastward
of Sextant Rock.
This rock is situated in about lat. 10° 41' S., and long. 1420 33' E.
Directions. -A
vessel from the southward
should pass at
half-a-mile outside Albany Rock and Tree Islet, and steer about
W. by N. 2 N., until the east point of Ida Isle bears S.W. by
S. ; then haul in for the bay, and anchor where before directed.
In coming from the northward, pass at three-quarters
of a
mile outside Sextant Rock, and then make for the anchorage,
fathoms
knolls
taking care-if
a large vessel-to
avoid the 32
lying half-a-mile to the north-eastward,
and E. by S. about a
third of a mile from Sextant Rock, which will be avoided as
long as Albany Pass is not seen quite open.
Tides.-It
is high water in Evans Bay, full and change, at
11h. 15m. ; springs rise 10 feet, and neaps 4 feet.
The Coast from Ida Isle to Fly Point consists of a succession
of shallow bays and rocky points ; but none of the bays are of
sufficient depth for a vessel to enter.
Osnaburg Point is a steep cliffy bluff, of coarse sandstone,
S. ; W., nearly two-thuds of a mile from Frederick Point, the
north-west extreme of Albany Island.
Between Ida Isle and Oanaburg Point is a shallow bay,
divided into two bights by Bishop Point, which is also a high
bluff headland.
In the western bight Mew rivulet, a stream of
good fresh water, runs into the sea close to the southward of a
SAILING
DIRECTIONS.
119
low rocky point ; but this-the
only fresh water stream in the
neighborhood-is
lost to any useful purpose, as the bay is so
completely occupied by a mud flat that even boats could not
approach the mouth of the rivulet to embark the water.
The
edge of the flat, which extends in nearly a direct line from Ida
Isle to Osnaburg Point, is steep-to, with from 6 to 8 fathoms
closeoutside.
Between the edge of this bank and the shoals extending to
the north-westward
of Albany Island large vessels may find a
spacious roadstead, which would also be a secure anchorage
during the south-east monsoon, were it not for the strong tidal
streams which run through Albany Pass.

16. Except in the case of cabin passengers, the Emigration
Agent in London shall, as far as possible , select English, Irish,
and Scotch emigrants in numbers proportioned to the population
of England, Ireland, and Scotland, respectively.
Relations of Germans in Colony.
17. When practicable,
the relatives of Germans settled in
Queensland will be introduced upon similar terms to those provided in regulation 12 above.
18. The provisions of section 19 of the "Alienation

Lands Act of 1860" not having been approved by the Imperial
Government, applications made thereunder by officers, soldiers,
and sailors , cannot be entertained.
POPULATIONRETURNS.
DURING the, second session of 1863 (the first of the new
Parliament),
an Act was passed for taking a Census of the
Population of the Colony on the 1st of January in the present
year (1864), the object being to frame an Electoral Act upon
the returns so obtained.
This special Census, it was understood, will not interfere with the usual quinquennial
Census
when the times arrives for taking the same in 1866.

The rapid increase of the population
of this portion of
Australia
will best be shown by a glance at the following
figures, the whole of which may be relied on, inasmuch as they
have been compiled from official returns:Population in 1846 (by censps)....

At the time of Separation (on the 10th December, 1859), the
population was roughly estimated at 25,000, and as the total
number could not have amounted to less than 62,000 on the
same date in last year, Queensland may boast of having more
than doubled-by
half as much again, in fact-her population
in four years !
When the returns collected on the first day of 1864 are
complete, we believe it will be found that the population
numbered not less than 64,000 on that date.
An examination
of the following figures-which
are sufficiently self-explanatory
-will, we think, justify this attempt at vaticination :Males. Females. Total.

amounted to 7175 males and 4774 females,
or a total of 11,949; showing a ratio of increase of 26.51.
During the nine months ending
30th September,
1863,
there were 58'68 deaths to every 100 births ; 97.65 females
were born to every 100 males born ; 58'91 females died to
every 100 males who died ; 50.60 of the total births were
males ; 62 .93 of the total deaths were males ; 33 .08 per cent.
of the total increase from excess of births over deaths were
males, and 66 ,92 per cent, of the total increase from excess of
births over deaths were females.
The number of marriages solemnized during the first nine
months of the year was 557.

SUGAR CULTIVATION.
THE following letter has been addressed to the Publisher by
THOMAS SCOTT, ESQ., of Point
Clare, Brisbane
Water,
(N. S. W.), a gentleman who has, for years past, been recognized as the foremost advocate of sugar cultivation in the
colonies of Queensland and New South Wales :" DEAR SIE,-I
now do myself
the pleasure
of redeeming
the promise
I made to you when
in Brisbane.
The precise
subject
of this communication,
although
not expressed,
was,
however,
mutually
understood
as having
reference
to the
CULTIVATION OF THE SUGAR CANE.
I now candidly,
yet
laconically, give it for what it may be deemed to be worth.
"As a traveller in various parts of the world, after quitting
my vocation as a sugar planter in Antigua, my marked attention was directed to their staple productions.
Of these I will
note only that of my own profession, which, for ages past, has
invariably proved its great national importance.
No product
has everyet proved of so great a mercantile
value as regards
the immense amount of capital it employs, the greatest return
to the public revenue, and the material prosperity
it confers
upon the inhabitants
engaged in its cultivation.
During a
visit I recently made to your Colony,-so
highly gifted by
nature, soil, climate, and their attendant
circumstances,
and
SUGAR
CULTIVATION.
173
destined, as I believe, to become the most flourishing and
wealthy in Australia,-I
was forcibly impressed with its ample
adaptability
for the successful and highly profitable cultivation
of the plant under review.
The perfection
to which it will
there attain,-as
distinctly
declared
by me in numerous
published letters, as far back as 1835,-and
the quality of the
sugar it will make , I believe the Queenslanders are now willing
to admit ; but there is yet a greater consideration intimately
connected with its immediate and extensive cultivation than
this now realized fact, so long and so earnestly promulgated by
me, which I have reason to think is not at present in operation
-I allude to a practically and publicly authenticated test of its
mercantile value ; in other words the extent of profit to be
obtained by the cultivation.
From the practical experiments
I
have made here for these twenty five years, I can advisedly say
that it will yield to the enterprising parties who may seek to
develope the field of resource it ofierg, a reward greater than
has ever been enjoyed by sugar planters in any locality ; and
certainly surpassing any other known field of industry.
Still,
however, great and certain as this reward may prove, under
skilled and experienced management, an absence of tact in the
first essays may retard for a time this yet undeveloped source of
prosperity ; although it must ultimately prove of greater and
more enduring value to Queensland
than a rich goldfield.
Many allowances ought to be extended to the first professional
operators, who will have to contend with innumerable
difficulties, as all around them will be ignorant of their subordinate
duties ; bnt an organic and vital defect in a professional
planter would be no extenuation
of failure, as regards the
extraction of a profit from his management,
except only in
unpropitious
seasons, and also if he act upon a merely experimental scale.
" I have thus, Sir, unreservedly, yet briefly, expressed my
views to you upon the foregoing subject.
I have dealt with it
as an open and public one, upon which depends so great an
issue as regards this embryo source of prosperity, for the enjoyment of which your Colony is, from its attendant
elements,
preeminently destined.
" I have, from personal observation, &c., while in the States
of America, acquired a theoretical
knowledge of the cultivation
and curing of tobacco.
This, while a Government officer, as
superintendent
of the Sugar Plantation, at Port Macquarie, I
practically applied.
My crop, upwards of seventy tons, sold at
the Commissariat
Stores, Sydney, at an advance upon the
imported American leaf. I simply mention this fact in support
17A
SUGAR
CULTIVATtOF.
of my views, that this article of commerce will be profitably
grown in your Colony.
Further
to illustrate the validity of
this assurance , I may state that leaf tobacco in Kentucky, when
I was there, sold at from five to six dollars per 100 lbs., and
that principally
grown by free labour.
There no bounty
existed upon it ; in Queensland there is an indirect one of two
shillings per pound.
In the Sydney Herald I have elaborately
written many letters upon this subject, with instructions upon
its culture and curing.
I wholly repudiate
being either a
tobacco or a cotton planter, and although I have been the
principal correspondent
in that journal upon the latter, I
utterly contemn it on account of its extreme simplicity.
In
1825 I grew an acre of it, and successfully so, as regards the
adaptability of the Colony to produce it ; and, in 1833, I was the
first to call public attention to this fact, as a contingent aid to
to small farmers with large families.
I did not, however, write
flatteringly of it as regards its profitable production.
I greatly
question, and ever have questioned, the successful issue of the
very laudable efforts which have been made to test its mercantile character;
and when the transient and high price of the
article in the European market is reduced, and the bounty now
given by the Government
ceases to exist, capitalists and
companies engaged in its cultivation, with labour as high as it
is likely then to be, will, I feel assured, sustain a heavy loss. I
entertain a favorable opinion of the profitable cultivation of the
coffee plant in your Colony, and I believe it is well worthy of a
practical trial.
" I enclose some extracts from an unpublished essay of mine
on the cultivation of the sugar cane.
" I am, dear Sir, most obediently,
" THoMAs
EXTRACTS
FROM
SCOTT."
ESSAY.
"Preparation
of the Ground.-Plough
into trenches from
four feet six. inches to five feet apart, running the plough a
second time into each, but the reverse way of the first
ploughing, when each will be, at least, eight or nine inches
deep, with a ridge upon each side.
Into these furrows place
the plants horizontally,
covering them with two inches of
mould, three feet and three feet eight inches apart, according to
the nature of the soil. The tops of the canes are most generally
taken as plants, with from four to five well developed joints
(those at the extremities do not grow) ; they are so applied for
economy only, being otherwise useless, except for fodder or
SUGAR
CULTIVATION.
175
manure.
The canes suitable for conversion into sugar, make
the best plants, as they are mature, more hardy, and do not so
frequently fail to vegetate.
Repeat the same operation at the
end of each furrow.
There are several other methods adopted
by planters, but this is fully as efficient, and certainly involves
considerably less expense than any other plan. In Demerara and
Trinidad, where the lands are low and swampy, the planters
prudently, and of necessity, plant their canes more shallow, but
it certainly should not be so in Queensland, under any circumstances.
In those places the climate is constantly humid and
very hot, but the adoption of shallow planting in Queensland
would, in and seasons, result in almost total failure, and in
general a very considerable diminution
in the first crop, and a
still further falling off of the following or ratoon ones. When
the young canes, planted as herein advised, attain a height of
about twelve inches, carefully weed and mould them from the
ridges which surround
them ; in three or four months the
ground will thus become level, and the canes have from
fourteen to eighteen joints under the surface, from all of which
roots will spring to nurture the plant, and furnish " eyes" from
which the following crops are derived.
"Copy of A.ppendiE.-To
explain more lucidly my remarks
upon the method of planting the cane,-an
important feature in
the planter's duty-as
advocated in this essay, the writer begs
-to direct the reader's attention to the following essential results
therefrom, viz.:11Firstly-It
affords to the canes about sixteen or eighteen
successive rows of roots, growing from the joints of the first
crop under the surface, the " eyes" upon each of which furnish
a basis for the production
of innumerable
canes derivable
therefrom, called `ratoon crops.'
" Secondly-It
greatly protects the stools from the injurious
effect of drought, and gives them a firm hold of the soil, to
withstand the heavy winds to which at times they are exposed.
" Thirdly-More
important still, it seats the foundation and
success of all the succeeding crops from the original planting,
which, if the professional operator be skilled, will yield from
eight to ten or more crops.
` It has come to the knowledge of the writer that canes haye
been planted in Queensland
upon the surface of the ground,
in an angular direction to the surface of 45 degrees, with onehalf of the plant above it ! Under such management
success
cannot ensue ; therefore none of the requisite results can
possibly be attained-results
upon which the profitable and
successful management of a sugar plantation depend.

" In defence of such a procedure as that to which I have
referred , it is alleged that it is practised in Trinidad, on low
and swampy lands. Partially granting even this , it is by no
means app licable to Queensland , where a cold season occurs,
with, at times , arid weather . Nothing, therefore, in my acquired
experience or my natural sense can justify such magagement
beyond the tropics. That canes in the torrid zone, Demerara
and Trinidad
,are plantednearerto the surfacethan they are
in the Leeward Islands and Jamaica, I am quite ready to admit;
but that one -half of the plants are left above the surface, I
frankly own I am astounded , for it is self -evident to anyone
that that portion of the plant above the surface wi ll either
perish, or, if a shoot spring fr om it, it will be valueless.
The
ratoon crops from such planting , having only two or three eyes
and joints under ground, fr om which - and the roots therefrom
- they are propagated , wi ll be but few, and quickly exhausted.
" This Appendix is written only for the consideration of those
gentlemen who may have been led into the error herein pointed
out, and not as a portion of the Essay."

Mail).
CLEvJLexn is a township situated on the southern waters of
Moreton Bay, and is distant from Brisbane twenty miles by
land, and about thirty-five by water, going through the Boat
Channel.
A large township has been marked out here, and
much of the land has been sold, but as yet the population of
the neighbourhood
does not exceed 300. The place is greatly
resorted to by invalids and others for the benefit of the sea air,
which is here to be inhaled in all its invigorating freshness.
There are no squatting stations in the vicinity , but there are-

a sugar plantation
and salt manufactory, the property of the
Hon. Louis Hope ; a sugar plantation in embryo, the property
of the Hon. F. Bigge ; a saw-mill, two public-houses,
several
cottages, and other buildings.
The soil is noted for its fertility,
and the garden of the Hon. L. Hope has long been known
for the luxuriance of its vegetation, there being rarely any
frost to destroy or check the plants.
Considerable
tracts of
country have been taken up south of Cleveland,on the
seaboard, for the purpose of sugar and cotton cultivation.
The
mail is conveyed weekly overland, but there is frequent,
though irregular, communication with Cleveland by water.

REMARKS.-The post-office will be removed to Roma from
Bungeworgorai
(5 miles distant) early this year. Roma is a
thriving young township' on Bungill Creek, and ie likely to
become a place of some importance.
Although formed but
recently, there were, in June last (1863 ), three stores and two
inns there.
It is situated on the present main line of road to
the Warrego, and it is anticipated that a postal line will shortly
be established between Roma, by way of the Maranoa, towards
the Second Crossing Place, where a township will probably be
proclaimed, and where there are now two inns. Bungeworgorai was formerly known as Mount Abundance.
In the
vicinity of this route there are several stations , viz. :-Bin Bin,
Mr. F. A. Forbes', 8 miles from Condamine ; Alderton, Messrs.
H. Cozen and Co., 20 miles from ditto ; Wandai Gumbal, old
police station on Tchanning Creek ; Moongool, Mr. Marks', 15
miles from Bendemere

THE WARREGO.
THE subjoined memoranda relative to the Warrego district have
been kindly supp li ed to the Publisher by Mr . John Neilson, of
the Warrego River :-" The traveller , on leaving Fort Bourke,
N. S. Wales (which, by the way , is the key to the trade of this
district ), arrives upon the Warrego , or, more properly, the
Barungha , at a point 40 miles therefrom , at a large sheep
station belonging to the Bogan River Company , upon which
are depastured some 40,000 sheep. He then proceeds upwards
some 40 miles to a large sheep establishment of Mr. John
Rutherford , upon which there were shorn last season some
60,000.
Some few miles to the west of Mr. Rutherford's
station, upon the Irrarah Creek, effluent fr om the Warrego,
Mr. Vincent Dowling has a station depasturing some 10,000
sheep . The traveller now arrives at the boundary of this
colony and N . S. Wales, and the first station therein situate is
a station of Mr. Dangar 's (No. 1), depasturing some 900 head
of horses ; Mr. Jackson , superintendent . At 20 miles easterly

Leaving there and proceeding upwards, you arrive at a cattle
station of Mr. J. F. Josephson (of Sydney), depasturing some
1800 head of cattle . The next station you meet with on the
Cuttaburra is a station of the Bogan River Company's, with

Leaving Claverton,
you arrive at a station of Mr. John Neilson (500 head cattle),
on the west bank, ten miles above which a station is held by
Mr. W. G. Conn, called Dillalah, with 600 head of cattle, on
the east bank.
Opposite, the country is held by Mr. John
Rutherford.
At 25 miles above this point the country is held,
on the west bank ; by Mr. Richards, with 1500 head of cattle ;
a few miles above whose station the Warrego receives the waters
of the Burgamathulla
and Ward.
Upon the latter river there
exists some of the finest country in Queensland, held by Messrs.
Burn, Mayne, and Ward, Messing and others.
The only stations on the Burgamathulla
are held by Messrs. Adams and
Donkin.
Leaving Richards' station, on the west bank of the
Warrego
upwards, you arrive at a station held by Messrs.
Flood, Gordon, and Wiseman.
The country above this on the
west side is of splendid downs, but, there being a scarcity of
water, this land remains unoccupied at present.
Below this
country, on the west bank, the Warrego receives the waters of
the Nive, occupied by Messrs. Dutton and others.
On the
opposite bank it also receives the waters of the Angellala, upon
which are situate a large number of sheep and cattle stations,
held by various parties.
The country above this point consists
alternately of open scrub and downs, exceedingly well grassed,
-the
Lower Warrego, having the greatest extent of plain
country, the soil becoming more saline as you approach the
Darling, and more adapted. for sheep.
[{To the west of the Warrego, starting from CunnamulIah,
there is a station held by Mr. Sharp, Mirrapooroo,
with 800
COUNTRY
DIRECTORY.
203
head of cattle, distance 15 miles ; thence to Dowling's, on the
Parroo, 15 miles ; and west of that point again, a station held
by Mr. West with 7,000 sheep. Mr. Dowling has another
cattle station 40 miles below his upper station on the Parroo
River.
" The trade of the Upper Warrego proceeds towards Rockhampton,
while the Lower Warrego
and westward of that
receives
their
supplies
at Fort
Bourke,
where
they
are brought
by steamers
from Echuca
(Victoria),
and
Goolwa
(South
Australia) ; the rate of carriage of wool
from Fort Bourke to Melbourne or Adelaide is at the rate of
£12 per ton.
The navigation of these rivers by Captain Cadell
has done much to open up the interior of Western Queensland,
and although
the colony loses the commercial trade of this
part, still the advantages of internal steam navigation must be
admitted."
From another source the publisher learns that flour has been
quoted at £22 per ton at Fort Bourke, while it was selling at
£40 at Dalby.

REMAR%s.-The broken country between Crackon and Cockatoo Creek divides the waters of the Upper and Lower Dawson.
At Camboon, the road to Gayndah branches off, via Rawbelle,
about 30 miles distant.
Kianga is a little off the direct road.
Banana is a thriving township on the high road to the north.
It was formerly part of the Rannes run, when owned by the
Messrs. Hay.
Now, several buildings are erected, including
two inns, and a court of petty sessions is held there.
Calliungal is a little off the direct ro ad, near to the point where the
river Dee has to be crossed.
The cro ssing is rather difficult in
rainy seasons, and forms the only obstacle of any magnitude
between this and Taroom.
Westwood is a small township,
where there are two inns and several other buildings, but it is
said to be very badly watered, and the waterholes dange ro us
for stock. The postal line from Rockhampton
to Nulalbin and
Orion Downs branches off here.
At Lake Victoria there is a
cattle station, forming part of the Calliungal run, on the River
Don, owned by Messrs. Wood and Robison.
Goganjo is a sheep
station 10 miles from Westwood ; and Mr. Gillespie has a
station near the crossing place over the Dawson River, and
near its junction with Kianga Creek.
Mr. Murray has a station
on Centre Creek, a tributary of the Don.

REniAims.-The
post-office which will be kept at Knebworth
during this year, was formerly carried on at Nulalbin by Mr.
Living, and it is decided also that the Rainsworth office shall be
removed to Springsure, from whence it is likely that a mail will
be run to the Commissioner's on the heads of the Barcoo.
The
dray road from Westwood to Rio is much longer, nearly 60
miles, but the postman follows a bridle track which has been
cut through the intervening
scrub,-seven
miles of the scrub
being very dense, and two miles patchy.
The scrub begins at
Cojango Creek, about nine miles from Westwood, and ends
about 15 miles from Rio. It is said that a practicable dray
road can be made in about 28 miles, a little to the east of the
track.
The name of Living and Khulrs station is Cooguelbinda, five miles off main road, and Nulalbin is the station of
Messrs. Glen and M'Master,
both being situated on Perch
Creek.
The post-office has hitherto been kept by Mr. Living,
and has been called Nulalbin.
A new township, at which a
store, a public-house,
and a blacksmith' s shop have been
erected, has sprung up at Knebworth, and it is to this place the
post-office is to be removed. Knebworth is about 10 miles from
Sheridan's on the River Brown.
The more direct route after
leaving Repulse Creek is from thence to Cameron's, on Planet
Creek, a distance of 30 miles, thus avoiding the detour by way
of DLitton's.
The stations supplied with their letters by this
route are-Baby,

the station of
the Messrs. Kellman, on the creek of that name ; from thence
to Wealwandangie, Mr. Peter M`Intosh's, on Cona Creek, is 18
miles ; and from thence to Mr. Clark's station on the Mantua
Downs, Claude River, is 40 miles.
Besides the stations named

REMARKS.-The Peak Downs country commences a little past
Yamala.
These downs extend for many miles, and furnish
beautiful undulating
prairie country for stock, quite equal to
the Darling Downs, but-very barely watered.
The country on
the Comet and the Nogoa may also be compared to the Darling
Downs.
The scenery in many places is very beautiful, lofty
peaks and rugged hills rising in all directions, and springs being
plentiful
The Barcoo country is said to be superior even to
COUNTRY
DTR1JCTORY.

this
On the Thomason River, where the Lindsborough
Riser
Company have their stations, we are informed tint the river
plains extend for 300 miles, and the country is timbered so
slightly that it is difficult even to got rafters for a hut, and a
lever for a wool-press will, in some cases, have to be carried for
100 miles. The stations in the neighborhood
of the line of
road to the Comet and Nogoa are the following :-Lurline,
M'Donald and M`Farlaue's, on the junction
of the Comet and
Nogoa, 17 miles S.E. of Yainala ; Glendarriwill,
Mayd and
Jatl'ray's, 22 miles N.W. of Wills' ; Lempriere Creek, M. Orr's,
25 miles S.W. of Jatfray's, and 35 miles from Wills' ; Tritl'it's,
15 miles from Jatfray's,
and 27 from Wills'.
(Wills' head
station, of Cullinlaringo, has been removed 7 miles from where
the massacre took place, and is now on Stoney Creek, about 8
miles from Fernlie.)
Minerva Creek, late Mr. Riddle's, is 9
miles from Fernlie, and 10 miles from Springsure
station.
(Mr. Riddle was murdered
by the blacks on the 19th September, 1863.)
Glenorah, Mr. Burnett's,
is 9 miles E. from
Fernlie ; Buckland Creek, between Lake Salvator and Backland's Table Land, has lately been settled by Mr. Adams ; Mr.
Lowe is on the head of the Nogoa, near Mount Wentworth.
The heads of the Bolyando* are situated over the range, and
the stream runs towards the north.
Beginning from its source,
the stations are as follow : Avoc-s, Turner and M'Orobie's, 100
miles S. of Hood's, on Theresa Creek ; Beauford, H. Palmer's,
below and adjoining the foregoing ; Crinam Downs, S. Davis' ;
Banchory,
Gordon and Rolleston's ; Rolfe's, 16 miles from
G ordon's ; Thorne's, 30 miles below Rolfe's, near to the junction of the Sutter with the Balyando.
The stations on the

The route from Toowoomba to the Peak Downs has been
thus laid down by a correspondent
to a local paper : " After
leaving Toowoomba, travelling stock can departure on either
side of the road on good feed as far as Warroo.
After leaving
this place, and proceeding on the Great Northern Road, the
ro ute is through Campbell's Camp, Chinchilla, and Middle
Creek , at which place the re is a small bush inn. This place is
in Gogg's Forest, and the traveller, after leaving this place,
could not, at the time of my travelling through the forest, get
any water till he got to Juandah.
At this place there is a little
feed and good water.
After leaving Juandah,
and passing
through Taroom, at which place the Dawson River is crossed,
he proceeds from Taroom through Palm Tree Creek as far as
Gwambegwyne.
Here there are two roads ; the direct is the
road to Rockhampton,
and the left-hand road is the road to
Peak Downs.
After leaving this place, and proceeding N.W.
22 miles, you come to Mr. Hobbler' s station . Eight miles from
here the traveller comes to Bigge' s Range, which is rather steep
in ascending . From this point the traveller will find good feed
all the road out to the Peak Downs.
The next station from
Hobbler 's is Dutton 's, Bauhinia Downs.
Here, as at Gwambegwyne, there is a road to Rockhampton,
which bears N.E..;
the road to the Peak Downs bears north from the cross roads
for about three miles , and from thence it bears west, and over

Expedition Range.
The first place after crossing the Range
the traveller apmes to is Cameron's, Planet Creek.
Proceeding
from thence, the first place of any note is Albinia Downs.
At
this place there are two roads ; the left is the road to the Neva
and Barcoo waters, and the right is the road to the Peak Downs.
Mr. Thompson's
is the next station, which is 25 miles from
Albinia Downs, and from there to Cullin-la-Ringo
(Mr. Wills')
is 45 miles . Here the traveller can save 30 miles, or rather
better, by passing through and bearing north, and crossing the
Nogoa River to the west of the Great Scrub.
The distance
from here to Scott and Roper's Peak is 78 miles, and the distance from Toowoomba to Scott and Roper 's Peak is 541 miles."

On this line there is water all the way, with the exception of

At Retro Creek, 26 miles from Gordon Downs, the ordinary
road branches off to the left to Hood's and Davis', while the
main road to the diggings continues
to a public-house
of
Winter, Veale, and Co.'s at the Lagoons, about 48 miles from
Gordon Downs.
From this to Manton's Copper Mine is five
miles. The township is to be laid out at the Lagoons, but the

Old Diggings being near the minds, three storekeepers, a blacksmith, and several others have settled down there, and formed
an embryo township, notwithstanding
the scarcity of water,
which can be obtainedby digging.
The " New Rush " is some 20 miles from this, on the Drummond Ranges .
Water is scarce , but all the diggers agree that
this will be an extensive gold-field.
Hitherto
it has been all
surface digging at the heads of the creeks and gul lies, and is
found in leads of more or less extent.
Our informant was told
by many that they were the easiest diggings they had ever seen,
and that, when gold was struck, the yield was generally rich,
although they could only be worked after rain.
Others, again,
say that thi whole country is auriferous, and anticipate that the
main diggings will be on the Belyando, across the range.
That
good finds have been obtained is allowed ; the result must be
left to time and enterprise.
At latest accounts, there were
about 1000 people, including those at the copper mines.
These latter deserve some little notice.
The quantity of ore
found here is very great, cropping out on the surface in all
directions.
One shaft has been sunk some 50 feet deep, and
the ore is found to improve in quality, and is said to yield over
50 per cent. Smelting works will shortly be erected here.
The
malachite is also very fine. From the manner in which the
mine is being worked, great results may be anticipated, and
another company is being formed for the same purpose.
Mr.
Keene, the Government
geologist of New South Wales, has
reported very favorably
on the deposit, and several other
" copper blocks " have been taken up.
It is a noteworthy
fact
that gold, silver, copper, and iron should all be found within
the circuit of a mile.
ROCKHAMPTON, PORT DENISON, THE BURDEKIN, &c.
MAILS from Rockhampton
to Port Denison are conveyed by
steamer every fortnight, but the overland route, which is also
fortnightly, is maintained in order to supply the large number
of stations on the line with the advantages of mail communication.
The rapidity with which the intervening
country has
been occupied, and the spread of settlement still further to the
north and west, will render necessary the frequent extension of
the mail routes in this direction.
Tenders have been invited
for the conveyance of a fortnightly mail from Bowen to the
second Crossing-place on the Burdekin, a distance of 183 miles,
and the service will be commenced early this year. To this,

It will thus be seen that the pro fitto the assuredin this
Society is equal to about three times that allotted by first-class
Proprietary
Offices,
and is nearlytwicethat reali sed by one of
the most successful of all European Mutual Offices.
N.B.-The
equitable principle of Annuity
and Endowment
Policies receiving
the bene fi t accruing on these branched of the business , is almost peculiar
to this
Society . It genera ll y goes to enlarge
the Bonaures of Assurance
Policies.
If
the same course were adopted
by the Australian
Mutual Provident
Society,
the result would be still greater advantage
to its Assurance
Policy/- holders than
is exhibited in the fo re going Comparative
Statement.
Prospectuses , Forms of Proposal, and all information may be

DISCOVERED
AND
NAMED
BY
DR. J. COLLIS BROWNE, AI.R.C.S.L.,
Ex-Army Medical Staff.
The question asked by inva lids , fami lies, and households isWhat is the best medicine to give in the above diseases, and
what to have always ready?
Medical testimony, the reply of
thousands of sufferers and invalids, is confirmatory of the invaluable relief afforded by this remedy above all others.
CIILORODYNE is a liquid taken in drops according to age. It
invariably relieves pain of whatever kind ; creates a calm refreshingaleep ; allays irritation of the nervous system when all
other remedies/au;
leaving no bad effects like opium or laudanum, and can be taken when none other can be tolerated.
Its
value in saving life in infancy is not easily estimated ; a few drops
will subdue the irritation of Teething, prevent and arrest Convulsions, cure Whooping Cough, Spasms, and Flatus at once.
Among Invalids it allays the pain of Neuralgia, Rheumatism,
Gout, &c. It soothes the weary achings of Consumption,
relieves the Soreness of the Chest, Cough, and Expectoration
;
and cures all Chest affections, such as Asthma, Bronchitis,
Palpitation , &c. It checks Diarrhoea , Alvine Discharges, or
Spasms and Colics of the Intestines, &c.

I have no hesitation
in stating that I have never met with any medicine so efficacious
as an anti-spasmodic and sedative . I have used it in Consumption, Asthma , Diarrhoea , and other diseases, and am most perfectly satisfied with its results."
