in itself very precarious, Governor Phillip has
determined on procuring a supply of flour and other necessaries from the
Cape of Good Hope, as our stock on hand is found to be, on examination,
not quite so ample as had been reckoned upon. To execute this purpose
his Excellency has ordered the Sirius to prepare for the voyage; by
which conveyance the opportunity of writing to you is afforded me. It
was at first intended to dispatch the Sirius to some of the neighbouring
islands (the Friendly or Society) in the Pacific Ocean, to procure stock
there, but the uselessness of the scheme, joined to the situation
of matters here, has, happily for us, prevented its being put into
execution.
