PREFACE.
IN order to obtain a small fund towards purchasing an Organ for St. John's Church at Worksop, I have allowed some copies of my son's Log, or Diary in Australia and New Zealand, &c. to be sold, as I venture to hope that there are some in this neighbourhood who, from their acquaintance with him and bis family, will readily purchase it, and may derive some pleasure in reading the perils and adventures he met with, as well as in possessing his maps and drawings.
I hope, by this means, to accomplish the object I have in view, and I trust that any imperfections that may be found in this little

work will be excused, and that no very severe criticism will be passed upon the penmanship of so young a writer, who never had any intention of publishing.
SELINA C. MILTON.
