NOTES ON TEXT.

(By J. M. Clifton)

(a). Tien Tsin Harbour was the original name of Cossack. The name of Cossack was derived from a British man of war.

(b). The party decided to take up a run nine miles from the present site of Roebourne. They named the station Andover.

(c). Dig Down was a hole near a rock on the north beach, where mails were left by settlers and by ships.

(d). Hall's Hill is now known as Mount Hall.

(e). Evidently the killing of a sheep was an event. See later entry on May 31, 1864.

(f). The remains of these walls are, I believe, still to be seen at Andover Station.

(g). This was the first post office known in the district.
