This Wind being fair for our getting out, the Signal for sailing was made at 7 o'clock this morning. Mr Judge Advt. Wylde took an early Breakfast and took his leave of us, landing at the Pilot's House in Watsons Bay where he had his Horse waiting him.

At 8 a.m. weighed anchor and made sail out of the Harbour, and by 9 we cleared the Heads of Port Jackson. We then lay to for about Half an Hour to enable to write a few Letters to Sir Thomas Brisbane and other Friends at Sydney. -- Our good and faithful attached Serjeant and his two sons James and Charley, remained with us on board till the last moment, and after I had delivered him my Letters for the shore we took an affectionate leave of them; all of us being very deeply affected -- and poor dear Lachlan was particularly so - suffering great distress in taking leave ( -- most likely forever --) of his dear good Serjeant and his favorite [sic] young friend Charley. ---

The Serjeant and Pilot having left us, we made sail and proceeded on our Voyage for England via Cape Horn; the Wind being fair and blowing a very fine Breeze at West South West, and steering South East, with the intention of going round by the South End of New Zealand. ---

The Ship Minerva for New Zealand, the Ship Minstrel for the Whale Fishery, and the Ship John Bull for Bengal, sailed at the same time with us from Port Jackson. By the latter Ship I sent a present of a very fine Pair of large Emus for the Marquis of Hastings, Gvr. Genl. of India, in charge of Capt. Orman

At 4. p.m. we lost sight of the Light House and the Heads of Port Jackson.
