File 4

Content Summary:

The manuscript is a copy of the previous journal, but it covers a longer period. It describes the voyage of the Southern Cross to the New Hebrides, Banks Islands and the Solomon Islands, describing many of the islands visited, meetings with islanders including returned labourers from Queensland, an attack on a trading vessel, schools, relations with teachers, illnesses of Islanders, and Codrington's daily activities. The journal ends with his return to Norfolk Island and his reflection that the trip had been disappointing, with hurried visits and no real opportunity to get to know people. There is a rough map of the Banks Islands at the end of the journal. (143pp)
