Details:
Before we arrived at Soldiers Point darkness came on, and as the road over the rocks near the shore was both difficult and dangerous for our loaded pack-horses, Ben ran forward to the Point, and brought to our assistance the corporal and two soldiers of the 57th regiment, who were stationed with three others at that solitary spot, to intercept the runaway convicts, on their passage from the penal settlement of Port Macquarie to Newcastle and Sydney. Welcome to you, gentlemen, was the salute of the corporal as he approached us. And welcome too was the corporal, for we should have found it difficult to reach the station in the dark with the pack-horses without his assistance.
