When His Majesty's schooner Estramina was leaving the Settlement of Hobart Town in August last she met at the entrance of the River Derwent, a lugger-rigged vessel of very singular appearance. Sending to enquire what she was, found two prisoners on board, and learnt from them that she had been built by a number of bush rangers, [see entry: Van Diemen’s Land Gazette 21 May 1814, p. 1.] near the South west Cape, with a design of leaving Van Diemen's Land entirely. For this purpose they had actually sailed; but when 60 miles at sea were obliged to put back, from the fear of perishing, their Water, for want of secure vessels, having all leaked out. The vessel was about 36 feet keel, & well modelled; their cordage was contrived of twisted bark, and their number consisted of 4 or 5 and twenty persons, who, with the exception of the two found on board, had gone on shore to look for fresh supplies. She was taken possession of by the Master of the Estramina, and given up to His Majesty's Government at Hobart Town. (Sydney Gazette 8 Oct 1814, p. 2.)
