5) All efforts [that] have been made for the good of the natives have so far failed; he ensures that ours will not get better; his advice to settle in the interior, away from Adelaide.

6) As a member of the Society for the Protection of the Aborigines, we would like to communicate to him all the information we can regarding the latter, with permission to present it to the committee of that Society.

The whole letter breathed the spirit of Christian seriousness and zeal.

( 008 ) Contrary to all expectations, we remained in Plymouth harbor until June 11th, which was all the more embarrassing because a favorable north-easterly [wind] was blowing during all this time. The immense confusion caused by the loading of goods caused great dissatisfaction to everyone. For those who went to the shore daily or often, these inconveniences were less noticeable, but I did not want to grant myself this pleasure because it involved the significant expense of 20 sh. was associated with mere passage money. And I only had £ 2 left, which I had decided to bring to Adelaide undamaged. However, my boredom was somewhat relieved by the fact that the ship's owner once let us go to the nearby breakwater. This is a tremendous structure, the like of which [I] have never seen before, made of huge ashlar rocks raised from the bottom of the sea to 3 or 4 feet above the surface of the sea, intended to break the fury of the waves and make the harbor safe. Towards the sea side it descends very gradually, so that in several steps you can see the bottom. On this the waves come rolling up with great strength, apparently determined to go over the entire building, but their strength is broken when they get higher and they go back very nicely back from whence they came, although they broke through the enormous wall two years ago. This work performed by human hands amazed me greatly, and I would like to know how they could have laid the ground work in the depths of the water. The whole thing is at least a quarter of an hour long and 12 to 20 feet wide at the top.

With Teichelmann's(15) knowledge, I had written a letter to P. Kavel(16) to give to Mr. Angas, who was present in Plymouth, to take to London; But since he had left Plymouth shortly ( 009 ) before the letter was delivered and Teichelmann did not want to pay half for the letter written in both names, I did not send it.

Without my knowledge, he wrote a letter to Dresden, and when I asked him to at least say hello from me, he simply stated that it had already been sealed. He also seemed surprised when I expressed my surprise at such an unfraternal procedure.

Oh, that the company would soon send brothers out, if for no other reason than that I would like to have a human soul around me to whom [I] could occasionally pour out my bosom.
