This is from my diary that I kept on my voyage...

"The natives of this land are the most backwards of people I have ever seen"

It is on the public record that I wrote this when I landed in what has since
become Australia.

Opines a man wearing a wig and funny riding pants on a boat, who
wouldn't have lasted three weeks with his men at Sydney Cove if
stripped of his supplies.

It was the English who were locking up their people in huge numbers in
hulks, throwing their literal crap into the Thames in such volumes
that the Houses of Parliament stank, and had made such a mess of
things that they had to find somewhere else to filthy up.

wouldn't have lasted three weeks with his men at Sydney Cove if
stripped of his supplies.
