A LEGEND OF PORT PHILLIP.
One of my earliest and' Most chert
• ished Australian friends Was Toni
Courtney—"Gebtlenien . as he
was called, partly in derision, and
partly from 'Tappet, by his less-polish
ed neighbors. -Although affable and
courteous to all, there was yet a Su
periority of . .manner about Torn;
which indicated gentle birth, and so
jarred somewhat on the amour propre.
of men who catteUheir way - towealth
and station, even from the lowest
round of Fortu r lie'64adder.
When I firat''ljecame acquainted
with Courtney, Ife occupied a
. .!run"
in the DandenengCi, a pietUraStpte
mountain rungeyabout twelve . miles
eastward of Melbourne. 110 was then
a bachelor.; ere long, a' bright
eyed fairTpresided rover his hospital
hearth; for when he bravely set forth
to seek fortune at the antipodes,
the chosen of his heart was left be
hind ; long years elapsed ere success
attended his labors; vet neither
.dreamed of breaking plighted faith.
1n1836, the new colony of Port Phil
lip was opehed up, and Courtney was
quickly;on the spot with his flocks.—
Then, when the sun of prosperity
shone upon' him, he wrote for' her
who-. had promised to tread the "path
of life-with him, and she came.
She , quitted home and home eom
forts, and friends, and parents, and
brethren, all that was most dear to
her, and went her way across - the
-stormy ocean, to share his rude home
in the Australian wilderness. So
Tom' Courtney became a happy Bene
dict, and, a fond, proud father".
• .The chief troubles of the early set
tlers in Port Phillip were caused by
the dingoes,, or wild dogs, and the ab
origines. I use the past tense, be
cause the - se evils:are now, in a great
degree ; eradicated. But in the days
whereof -I,speak, the
,whold country I
was infested by paeks of wild dogs,
whose ravages often entailed consid
erable
loss on the sheep-farmer. It is
a peculiarity of this animal that, not
content with. killing sufficient to sat 7;
isfy hunger, they will maim and de:-
stroy many more; and not unfr k t
quently whole flocks have been dis
persed by them. They are, therefore,
greatly dreaded by the settler, to
whom the howl of the dings is the
avant courier of misfortune.
With regard to the natives, much
might be said On both
: sides. That
some of the colonists cruelly oppress
-9,(1 and wantonly shot them down, is
unhappily too true; nor can such 'a
result-surprise those who are acquain
ted with the class of men who consti
tuted much of the materiel of the new
settlement. On the other hind, the
blacks were treacherous to a degree;
greedy of the white man's flour and
meat, greedier of his rum. They
were, moreover, very revengeful; and
the reprisals were often marked by
eircuinstunces of great atrocity.--
Many a victim Was immolated by
their spears, and many a flourishing
settler utterly ruined by their destruc
tion of his flocks and herds.
No blame couhrbz, justly attached
to CourtneY's , donduct in thiSreSpect.
fie was far too humane to destroy
life wantonly;
indeed, So punctilious
leas he that the very • magpies Were
safe from his gun; and not a parrot
fell save when required -. for•the faMi - -
ly pie—for very osaVory and
.delicious
eating is pie, as I know fall Well. To'
the blacks, Courtney was specially
kind, and I have often thought that'
the pertinacity where-with sundry
of the colonists subsequently sought
to brand him with the foul stain of
homicide, originated in this very cir
cumstance. By them, then; the sim 7
pie indolent aboriginal Was regarded
solely in the light - of a nuisance, and
they blamed Tom for conduet, which,
in their eyes, appeared exceedingly
and absurdity sentimental. But he .
heeded them not.' '"The natives are
the rightful lordS of the soil," lie
ar
gued, "and we having depriVed them
thereof, they surely haVe a Claim . On
our hospitality." So Torn fed', and
would have clothed them, but for the
knowledge that they scorned to inbue
their limbs in the tight apparel pre
scribed by European civilizatioii.—
One thing only would he not give
themardeat spirits. This was a
sobree of grief to the native popula
tion:. , Brit Toni Was firm; and neith
er the persuasiona of his nnighbOrS,
nor the entreaties and threats of the
blacks; aught.
• _
Amongst -the .Dandenong' natives
was a tall, a th laic black fellow, a kind
of Chief amongst his people, with
whom ~ strength is paramount , who
had boon humored in hisprotenstions,
by the Settlers dubbing him "king," a
title which possessed all the cliarnis
of novel grandelik for the poor,un
tutored savage. Accordingly, ing
Billy—for he sunk his own more elk
phonious cognomen—with his leaden
medal, whereon, were inscribed his
name and style, dependent from his
brawny neck by a gaudy red ribbon,
was 'a very great personaG t' T in hiiown
eyes, and also in those of the tribe;
and wont to' display a conaiderable
degree of authoritative dignity in . hiS
intekcourso with the whites of the .
district.
It happened on one; occasion that
King Billy having got gloriously
drank els ewhere, staggered in to Tom's
home station, and peremptorily insis
ted on a further supply of ram.--
C i Ourtney was from home; and the
overseer, who was summoned in alarm
by Mrs. C,=: being desirous of get
ting:rid of the fellow gniefly , treated
hintio a small dose Of` spirit into
Which a tolerably strong emetic bad
previously been mfdsed. Of course
illy was very ill, and very angry ;
and he retreated, vowing vengeance
on all and sundry of Courtney's house
hold.
A few nights after this occurrence,
a large,miinher Of Sheep disappeared
from the fold. Thia 'was tars more
unaccountable, inasmuch as the dis-
Corda.nt - yell of the dingo had not
lately been heard in the neighbor
hOod. That the mischief was, how
, ever, ascribable to thoSe noctural dep..
redators, Tom never Or an instant
Ldedbted. The precautions usual in
such . cases were therefore adopted;; ,
the! shepherds Were ',armed; night
ivatehmen, were. appdirited, and joints:,
of raeitt,inipregnated With Strychnine
Were scattered abMit the run.
DeSpite the vigilance the Watch
deelareif that they had
neither,slept nor wandered front their
Chtirge,4 l, thiee.,fine: wethers,•Ldisappear,
ed from , one of the flocks. Here was
a mystery which none could un
ravel. Tom and one of his overseers
got on . horseback, purposing to ride
into the ranges, in order to discover,
if possi,ble, some clue to the enigma.
As they Were crossing a blind creek
(Anglice,. an, occasional water course,
usually dry in the Summer,) they per
ceived some natives, crouching in one
of the hollows, and rode towards j
them, intending to make some iaqui
ries, As they approached the blacks,
the latter remained quite motionless;
a circumstance which createdlittle as
tonishment; they were probably
asleep, or, if awake, too lazy to bestir
them - selves• surely the former, for
they heeded not the repeated shouts
of the overseer ; nay, even when the
horses' hoofs were beside them, they
still retained their recumbent posi:
tion. Toin sprang hastily from the
Saddle, startled by ghastly appear
ance of the nearest native; hp stoop
ed to reuse him from his apparent
stupor, but recoiled horror-stricken
from the contact. The man was dead,
and so were his companions, three in
nuMber, who lay around in at
titudes indicative of much pain. Be
side them, partially screenedfrom ob
servation-by a pile of 'branches, was
the entire carcass of one of missing
sheep, and by the embers of the camp
fire lay a well gnawed leg bone.-
This the overseer picked up, and at
tentively examined, and silently
handed to his master; then their eyes
met, and each beheld the reflected
image of his own thought; for a
dread conviction forced itself upon
their unwilling senses, that the blacks
bad partaken of the poisoned Meat I
Such was indeed the fact. Other
bodies—those of men, and women,
and children-nacre subsequently dis •
covered. in all, twenty=three had mis
erably perished; and thus was the
mystery elucidated. The flocks had
been robbed by the blacks, whose
dusky forms and noiseless progress ef
feetually baffled the vigilance of the
Watchman. Retreating from the fold,
they unhappily for all parties,. per
ceived the poisoned mutton, and cun
ningly secreting their live plunder
for future use, at once consumed the
fatal bait. The result Ihave already
stated
Various constructions were placed
upon this untoward event. Those
who hest knew Mr. Courtney, impli
citly believed his own version of the
afair. For myself, I never entertain
ed a doubt on the subject. ,But the
majority, misled by exaggerated re
ports ot quarrel with King Billy, and
the stibsecittent robberies perpetrated
by that worthy's'tribc, to which the
poisoned people belonged, easily 'be
lieved, the mischief to have been wil
fully done, by way of retaliation, and
openly- sneered at Tom's asservations
of innocence' , Some even applauded
the dexterity of the feat, and some set
my poor friend down as a consummate
hypocrite, who, by a show :of great
kindness, had lured the natives to
more Sure destrnetion.
The whole matter was formally in
vestigated by the local authorities.—
The practice, of poisoningAvild4logS
was general,, and it was evident that
the death of:the blacks had resulted
from inadvertence alone. Torn was
therefore ,honorably acquitted, but
the iron sunk deep into his -soul.—
The cold shade-of suspicion had fal
len:upon hini, and thenceforth and
for ever more, he.was a sadder man.
Tom's station- had hitherto been
known as Glenferney—a mime be
stowed upon it because of the num
berless, arborescent ferns which grow
in the gullies of tbe, adjacent ranges.
The-long, graceful, feathery leaves of
these beautiful trees, crowning stems
twenty, and even thirty feetin height,
afford a grateful shade_ from the
scorching rays of an Australian Sim,
and form a pleasing and picturesque
feature in the landscapes of that re
gion. But now it seemed to Tom as
if their glory had departed, The ,
very name
,of Glenferny was gradual
ly consigne.d to oblivion; superseded
by a term which originated with the
natives themselves, and ever brought
te' mind the seemingly atrocious and
really unfortunate .events which I
have related. They said emphatical
ly
, - that the place was "No Good," and
as No Good the station is known even
to the,present day. • ---
King Billy disappeared from the
district for a while, and was general
ly supposed to have shared the fate
of his.countrymen.; but, in truth, he
was only hiding from what he deem
ed the vengeance of
,the manwho had
been protector, and whose flocks
he nevertheleoaseistodto despoil.

vague to justify . detention. The
evening after the examination,
Courtney was slowly riding - home
.words, when a native emerged ; from a
clump of fragrant mimosa-bushes, and
stood before him. It, was King Bil
ly. Instinctively, Courtney halted.
"White fellow berg much .fool I"
that spoke the Savage. "What for
liitn_p,ut Kinn. Billy in stone but ?
(juit.) King Billy do nothing." And
he laughed a short, low, cunning
laugh, which contrasted strange
ly with his assumed stolidity of
a few hours previous. Quickly
checking himself, however, he resum
ed his denunciation thus: "White fel
low her} much rascal l What-for him

ing his hand to within two feet.of the
ground„;) him kill berry 'illy

Courtney was greatly agitated: 7 —

he exclaimed, "I never kill

Courtney endeaVored to pursbe him;
he had - disappeared in the gloom, and
would not be found. With a heavy
heart.; Tom wended, his way home.—
The Wok's words beded evil, and his
concluding sentences certainly sound
ed very like a menace. Was darling
Clara], - bonny" golden-haired Clara,
meant by the little white piccianiriny ?
He determined to keep careful watch,
and dttly cautioned Mrs. Courtney not
to allow the child out of her sight.
Some months flew by, and nothing
more was heard of the savage, who.
in common . 'with all his race, held
alo - Of'frein the spot which hadproved
so fatal to their countrymen. Court
ney
began to shake off the fears that
had oppressed him, filld'Omewhatro
laxed his vigilance. At last he had
occasion to visit a distant part of the
colony. Tie had heard of some fine
unoccapied land in the interior; and
desirous of quitting scenes that pain
ed his sensitive mind, he resolved on
a. personal inspection: After an ab- -
Bence of only foUr days, he returned,
to find his home in confusion. The
blow ho so much dreaded had f a ll en
was lost. She had
upon him—Clara
been'permitted to play in the 'garden,
at the rear of the house ; .and when
sought at:eventide, had disappeared,
none. knew whither. No - eries had.
been heard, nor were any traces of
her flight apparent.
Courtney's suspicions fall 1.1.170 n 'King
Billy and ti‘e blacks. On inquiry, he
found that none of the natives had I
been seen on the, run. But there ,
were no wild beasts in the country
capable of attacking the child; nor
was it at all probable that any of the
European settlers had taken her away.
To make sure, however, Courtney and
his men rode to all the neighboring
stations, and obtaining no tidings, he
hurried into Melbourne for advice and
-assistance. •
He felt stunned by the calamity
that had befallen him, a calamity in
creased by the dangerous illness of
his wife, whom the loss of the child
had utterly prostrated. I therefore
took the affair entirely into my own

one of the most expert . , : bushmen in
the district—he was popularly known
by the sobriquet of Jim, the Barber
—to join the party in pursuit.
Immediately the natives wars
brought to the garden, they commenc
ed a vies° extunination of the soil.—
For some time nothing was discover
ed save the frequent impressions Of
"piccaninny's foot ;" brit on approach
ing an oVergrown and neglected por
tion of the garden, immediately ad
joining the fence, the trackers, point
ing thereto, exclaimed, "Black fel
low's foot dere." Then, by panto . -
mimic gestUres, they gave as to under
stand that one •f the native bad
crouched amongst the rank vegeta
tion. Doubtlessly, there it was that
the wily savage lay in ambush until
his prey—the unsuspecting
came within reach of hie remorseless
grasp.
From this pOint, the blacks follow
ed the track with unerring sagacity:
It led rightinto the heart of the Dan
dedongs. Net a t'ace of the fugitives
could our erilliied eyes detect; yet
was the whole course of their Bight
accurately revealed to us. Each halt
and leap, and every resting place—
the water-hole whereat they had stop
ped to drink—the embers of the fire
whereby they had. paused a brief
space; all were described with a viv
idness that was quite startling. At
one place it seemed that the poor
child had endeaVored to escape from
her grim ca . ptor,.for the track diverg
ed in an t ±traordinary, manner, and
the guides exclaimed : Pieeaninnyrun
bery much; black fellow run urn
more !" Amongat the tangled scrub
of a wild mountain glen, the trackers
picked. up a tiny morocco shoe.—
Courtney at .once recognized it as
having belonged to his child, and care
fully deposited the precious relic in
his most secure pocket. ,
The, track became fresher as we
Proceeded. Crossing the Danderiongs,
We came to Woori Yaloak Creek,
tributary of the Yarra-yarra river ;
and here we received the first check.
No foot-prints were traceable on the
further bank, and daylight failing vs;
we were compelled to halt ibr the
night. •
In the 'morning, a more rigid nit
tiny
-was adopted. Our natives Siefl;
fixated, and one pursued the upward,
one the down Ward course of the
stream. For about auhour we await
ed the result in anxious silence. At
length one of the scouts returned,
without having discovered any sign
of the chase, and again we strove te
subdue our impatience till the other
native should re-appear. Another
batik elapsed, yet became not, Tired
of waltiog, the other wentin qe.est of
him, and qd.leN , came running babk,
-hie features . 'contorted with horror
and affright In a scrubby gully, ni4
more than half . .a mile distant, he has
found the corpse of. the missing man.
He was lying in a recumbent posi
tion, as though he had been slain
whilst in an attitude of observation,
and the fatal spear yet quivered in
the death wound. Near by were the
remains
,of a ,fire. "Black fellow
sleepadere," said our remaining track
er; and the tantalizingrefleCtion fore.
fid itself upon us, that we had passed
the night almost within hail of Court
ney's child.
From this place, our guide led ni
over stony ranges, where our prog
ress :vas greatly retarded by the dif
ficulty of identifying the track, se
that at mid-day We were but little in
advance of our starting point. Soon
after, we emerged into a- fine open
plain, dotted with clumps of silvery
acacias, and bounded by a dense for
'eat of stringy-bark and bo*wood trees
slowly followed the. tracker, 1
caught a glimpse of a dark object iu
the extreme distance, which I instinct
ively recognized as te object of Our
pursuit: He was cautiously stealing
from hush to bush, apparently, how
ever, unconscious of our presence in
his vicinity.
CoMmunicating My discovery to
Courtney, we set spurs to our horses
and galloped over the plain. The say
age's qiiibk ear caught the sound of
our horses' hoofs, and finding himself

shelter, and ran, with amazing speed,
towards the ranges.
Our excitement now became in
