 THE SBOOOD} XIiEaBK. 5fi A few liseeks after Ae armal oi the Lady Jaliana the ^^^ JoBtiiisaii «Btered the harbaor^ witih a large cargo of pro- ibe^ yisioBS, and fora time tbere was plenty in the land.^ She left England m Jaiumry^ 1 790, and had been only five months on the passage. Tench contrasts the Toyage of the Lady Juliana with that of the Justinian, and shows that the latter went from England to Jamaica and back, and from England y^^^ to Australia, in less time than was occupied by the former in performing the single yoyage.f He does not accuse the commander of the Lady Juliana, but, inf erentially, his praise of the myanagement of one ship is a censure upon that of the other. In reporting ihe acrivsl of the Eoyal Admiral more than Jf*yjf^ two yeaxB afterwards, Collins makas a pointed allusion to JuUana the Tf^age of the Lady Juliana. He mentions in his reo(»*d of ev^ents for Oafcoher, 1792, t}tat the superintendent of con- victs on boaid ihxk vesari was '^ Mr. Bichard Alley, who formerly belonged to the Lady Juliana, transport, in quality of surgeon, in the memorable voyage of that ship to this colony; a voyage that could never be thought on by any inhabitant of it without exciting a most painful sensation.'^it fanner tram ; the full ntion wm ordered to be iaaned^ inatsAd of daily, it was to he serred weekly as formerly ; and the drum for labour was to beat as usmA in the afternoons at one o'clocJk.* — ColliB^ -n^. i, p. fn. t^ We wese joyfnOy sarprised on the aotk of thn nanth [Jne, 1706] to see another sail enter the harhoor. She proved to be the Justinian^ transport^ commanded hy Captam Mainland ■; and aur rapture waa doubled on finding that she was laden -entiBely with movimonB for aar use. . . . This ship had left falmouth on the preceaing 20th of January, and completed her passage esaetly in five montiia. Accident only prevented her,** Tench adds in a footnoti^ '* from making it [the passage from England] in eighteen days less, for she wss then in sight of the harbour's mouth, when an unpropitious gide of wind blew her aff; ctberwise sibe would hsM reached us one day sooner than the Lady Juliana. It is a curious circumstance that these two sUdb had sailed togedier from ilie awsr Thames, one hound to Port Jaokson, ana the etiier bound to Jamaica. The Justiaisn eaisaed her cargo to the last-mentioiied place, landed it, and loaded afeeah wath sugars, which Ae wiamfld with, and delivered in London. She was thaoa hired as a transport, Bladen, wad sailed for New South Waka. list it be Mmemhered that no mstniiil aaoident had happened to either vcessel.
