fair, and, after a favourable passage of little more
than four weeks, they arrived at Sydney Cove, the port to which they
were bound when they embarked from England on board of the good ship
Pacific.
PS. As my young readers will probably wish to know a little more about
the Seagrave family, I will inform them that Mr Seagrave, like the
patriarch Job after his tribulation, found his flocks and herds greatly
increased on his arrival at Sydney. Mr and Mrs Seagrave lived to see
all their children grown up. William inherited the greater part of the
property from his father, after having for many years assisted him in
the management of it. Tommy, notwithstanding all his scrapes, grew up a
very fine fellow, and entered the army. Caroline married a young
clergyman, and made him an excellent wife; little Albert went into the
navy, and is at present a commander.
Juno is still alive, and lives at Seagrave plantation with William, and
her greatest pleasure is to take his children on her knee, and tell them
long stories about the island, and make them cry when she goes through
the history of old Ready's death and burial.
