At the end of this line of encampment I pitched my own tent, and was surrounded in the morning by a numerous assemblage of people, whose behaviour indicated that they looked to no- thing less than a restoration of the happy days of clanship. After our first meeting, I had to occupy myself in examining the lands, and laying them out in small lots for the settlers. In this business I soon began to feel the inconveni- ence of not having arrived at the time I had intended. The plans which had forme...rly been made of the land, were too inaccurate to be of much use, and there was not time for com- pleting a new survey. Some measurements, however, were indispensable, and these oc- casioned a delay that could ill be afforded. From this cause, combined with some of those errors, from which a first experiment is rarely exempt, it happened that three or four weeks 201 elapsed before the settlers could have their allotments pointed out to them ; and during all this time they were under the necessity of remaining in their first encampment.
