'Captain Mulhall, the gentleman who commands the Sophia Jane steamer, is a native of the colony, and has also the honour of being the first native commander of a steam vessel. For kindness and civility, it is generally allowed there are none superior to him in the colony. There are some great difficulties attached to the navigating of the river Hunter. At low water in places there are hardly sufficient water for the Sophia Jane. The experience of the captain enables him to avoid every danger and though sometimes checked in her career, yet his superior management carries her cheerily along'

The oldest inhabitant of Pyrmont is Captain William Mulhall, who resides in Harris Street. Captain Mulhall is a native of Parramatta, and was born on 2nd May 1808. He has been a resident of Pyrmont for more than fifty years. He commanded the first steamer brought to this colony - the Sophia Jane - and traded with her up the Hunter. He subsequently entered the A.S.N. Company's service, in which he remained for eight and twenty years. The captain who is still as brisk as a bee, and in the full possession of his mental faculties, recollects the time, more than seventy years ago it is, when Pitt street and Castlereagh street were full of tree stumps, and many a time has he stood and watched the convicts grubbing them out of the soil. Black fellows about Pyrmont in those days? said the captain to the writer. 'Any amount. They most frequented Benelong's Point, where the battery now stands. They had a big camp up there. Oh! I remember them well'.

The quickest passage (yet on record) from Williams Town, Port Philip to Sydney, was made five years previously by the Thistle steamer, under Captain William Mulhall. This was done in 52 hours from that place to the A.S.N. Company's Wharf, Sydney and including a detention of four hours at Twofold Bay, ths reducing the actual sailing time to forty eight hours independently of the time occupied by diverging from her proper course. Captain Mulhall also made the trip from the bar of Moreton Bay to the Hunter River Wharf in 40 hours. These passages have never yet been beaten
