Overview

Excerpt from In Northern Seas: Being Mr. Alfred Searcy's Experiences on the North Coast of Australia, as Recounted to E. Whitington My dear Mr. Searcy - Allow me to thank you for the great pleasure afforded me of perusing your chatty, instructive, and interesting con tributions to The Register relating your experiences in the Northern Territory. Entitled 'in Northern Seas.' The publication of articles like yours, particularly when they are written by men having a long ex perience of the country such as you possess, does far more to reach and fix the attention, and thereby to enlighten and remove the ignorance and prejudice of the many in regard to that vast and rich dependency of this State, than can be efl'ected by official reports and statistics, which are, necessarily perhaps. Condensed. Stilted, and to the multitude un interesting. In addition to its instructive character, your contribution will in years to come, when Port Darwin has taken its proper place as the 'hub' of a thriving and prosperous tropical State of the Common wealth, form not the least interesting of the records of the early history of the country - Yours truly, Charles E. Herbert. Thanks are especially due to the Premier (hon. J. G. Jenkins) for the interest he has taken in the reprinting of these articles - E. W., Register omoe, January 31, 1905.
