At 9. a.m. We were only abreast of Broken Bay 20 miles from Port Jackson. ---We have now however a fine Breeze of 4 Knots an Hour, but there is a light Current against us -- which considerably retards our Progress. ---The Snapper Cutter is in company with us -- and the Newcastle Schooner is in sight -- but about Ten miles ahead of us. ---At 1/4 before 11. a.m. we saw the Newcastle enter Port Jackson Heads and we expect to do the same in about an Hour and a half.

At 12 at Noon, we Entered the Heads of Port Jackson -- and the Wind being directly fair ran up the Harbour in the Brig. ---We anchored at 1 p.m.. and landed immediately at Mrs. M's Private Stairs -- where I had the happiness of meeting my dearest Elizabeth -- our Darling Boy being at Mr. Reddall's.
