[Footnote 88: A more singular instance occurred during the rule of
Colonel Davey. A reformed bushranger was dispatched to treat with a
young man who had absconded from the commissariat: he resolved to
accompany the messenger into the presence of the Governor; but he went

spoke to a man of the name of Pugh, belonging to the 48th regiment--one
whom I knew was a most cool and resolute fellow. He immediately entered
into my views, and having applied to Major Bell, his commanding officer,
he was recommended by him to the Governor, by whom I was permitted to

heartily entered into the scheme, and all things were arranged for
putting it into execution. The plan was thus:--Pugh and I were to remain
in Warburton's hut, while Warburton himself was to fall into Howe's way.
The hut was on the river Shannon, standing so completely by itself, and
