Fragment of a poem about life at sea and shipboard fear
A distorted text fragment presents a sea voyage lament with refrains like pitch pitch and roll, describing sailors longing for land and the fatigue of endless sailing. It hints at a poem or song about a ship's peril and a passenger’s despair with references to waves, weather, and yearning for shore.

Suggestions for Colonial Reform
A lengthy critique of imperial policy urges reform of colonial governance. It calls for self rule, federal assembly structures, separation of Port Phillip and Van Diemen's Land from NSW, expanded surveys, militia funding, and freer trade. It argues for independent governments across Australia and New Zealand, with practical plans for settlement, immigration, and penal colonies.
