What's up? We don't know - A good deal of feeling at the German flag still flying & one or two inquiries if we might fire on the flag & what wd - happen to the chap who fired - What wd happen to him? I wonder -
Two boat loads of men have gone off from the Parramatta to the shore & that's all I know & I know as much as most - They came round last night to find out who cd handle a rifle & I put my name down as I am a bally marksman at any rate I can handle a rife intelligently - Munn's boy is on the Berrima I fancy & if I get a chance I shall look up any Glen Innes chaps & have a talk -
There is one thing I do hope will happen & it is this – that we stick to all German New Guinea & to all these German Islands - This is a superb harbor & a 300 mile island & lots of real good land - Let Australia have it - never yield save to force - All this side of the Pacific should be ours & our flag should fly -
