{175} This man, who was a friend of Daaga's, owed his life to a
solitary act of humanity on the part of the chief of this wild
tragedy. A musket was levelled at him, when Daaga pushed it aside,
and said, 'Not this man.'

{176a} People will smile at the simplicity of those savages; but it
should be recollected that civilised convicts were lately in the
constant habit of attempting to escape from New South Wales in order
to walk to China.

{176b} I had this anecdote from one of his countrymen, an old
Paupau soldier, who said he did not join the mutiny.

{179} One of his countrymen explained to me what Daaga said on this
occasion--viz., 'The curse of Holloloo on white men. Do they think
that Daaga fears to fix his eyeballs on death?'
