They will be provided with every requisite for the passage out, according to rations accompanying the engagement.
Six months' provisions in the Settlement according to the same rations.
A free passage home, in the event of not remaining.
Should the individual determine to remain in the Settlement, he shall receive a proportion of his advanced money, in provisions or stock, equal to six months' maintenance, according to the same rations; and money or stock at his option, in lieu of his passage home.
This Plan offers many advantages.—An individual may form his own opinion by an absence of 12 or 14 months, and a six months' observation on the spot, of the prospect of success.—Should he be disappointed, his expenditure will probably not exceed that of his residence at home; and, if he is a man with a family and approves of the Settlement, he can fix his locality and return for his family at a certain expence, or he can make arrangements for his family to join him when his situation may be determined and in some forwardness.
