TIIE New HOLLANDER.—The food of the native of
New Holland consists of the seeds spontaneously offered to him by
the bounty of Nature. and of the produce of his hunting and fish.
ing. Of the mode in- which him hunting is conducted we know
little, as Europeans have hitherto penetrated but a very trifling dis-
tance into the interior. A very general practice appears to be, by
setting fire to the grass, to force the kangaroo, his principal game.
from the woods into the open country, where it is killed by spears,
propelled commonly by means of the throwing-stick. With the va.
riots plans pursued by him in his fishing, on which he seems ta
have expended the greater portion of his ingenuity, we are bette-
acquainted. In many situations this is confined to the mere collec-
tion of shell-fish, crabs, &c. at low water; at which time., evet
when it occurs during the night, the whole tribe is out upon t,
shore in search of these animals, compelled by the certainty ttw.
they would he deprived of their next meal if they neglected the op-
rottunity of procuring tt, even at the most unseasonable hours.
/he weirs, which are constructed to intercept the return of such fish
as may have been carried Into shoal water during the flood, are
formed either by sticks stuck in the mud, or by heavy stones. o:ie
of the latter description, at Oyster Harbour, " was &hundred yards
long, and projected forty yards in a crescent shape, towards tl e
sea." Fishing.nets, rudely made of the fibres of the bark of treo.,
are occasionally employed ; and the same material is also snun an,f
twisted to form tlshmg-lines, five or six fathoms long, to which are
attached hooks made from the shells of turtles. The mode in
which these latter animals are callOit by the natives of Ender.
von, River has been described by Captain Cook, and consi-ts in
striking into their bodies a barbed peg, to which is fastened
staff, serving for a float to trace and to weary the turtle while
swimming. This contrivance strongly reminds us of those cr-
ployetl by the Esquiniaux in the capture !of seals and whales.
Another point of resemblance between these distant savages is wbe found in the feast of the natives of King George the Third's
Sound on a raw and only half-dead seal, which had been tears.
