1. Our previous auction, on 1 st September, was one of our strongest
general sales yet. 85% of all lots were sold, there was intense bidding
in many areas, and the total hammer prices (excluding commissions)
exceeded the total pre-sale estimates for the entire auction! It was
especially pleasing to see the bidder response to our “gallery” sections that
feature the illustrations - many of them significantly enlarged -
incorporated within the text. We received many effusive comments from our
vendors both before and especially after the sale. On this occasion we are
going further, and experimenting with a number of superb stamps being
shown enlarged at up to 400% of their actual size. We think they look
fabulous, but we are interested in hearing what you think.
2. Victor Bullock’s South Australian Departmentals and Tasmanian
postmarks were highlights of the September sale. On this occasion we are
pleased to present the balance of Vic’s South Australian studies and his
Northern Territory postmarks, a field that is generally under-appreciated
and consequently grossly undervalued.
This sale also features a strong section of Kangaroos and KGV Heads,
one of the most spectacular of all our Decimal errors, and a newly
discovered mint example of the unlisted 1902 3d Postage Due Perf 11¾.
The last section of Trevor Davis’ Destination Mails from the Australian
Colonies is offered here. We also bring you a lovely selection of Bermuda
Keyplates, another fascinating array of India and the Feudatory States, and
an extensive array of British Empire registered covers.
Perhaps the most absorbing section of the auction is the New Guinea
which includes many items that have not been on the market for decades.
An educational feature is the array of GRI forgeries (don’t miss the
similar group from Samoa) all of which are illustrated.
If you are considering, whether in the short-term or well into the future, the
sale of a collection that you believe would justify our gallery treatment
please contact me to discuss how you too can experience “The Prestige
Difference” as a vendor.
3. Please note that this auction will, unusually for us, be held on a
Friday evening, 19 th October, commencing at 5pm. A light meal and
refreshments will be served to all clients who attend. While we intend to
continue holding our auctions on Saturday afternoon, we welcome your
feedback about the times and days you would prefer.
4. Having the auction in the evening means that the viewing times are
somewhat different from normal. Please consult the inside front cover of this
catalogue. On sale day, you will be able to examine the material from
9am until 4pm. However, we would ask that local clients view earlier
because on auction day we give priority to those visiting from the country,
interstate and overseas.
Please note that lots for our sales are usually available for inspection at
our office in Belgrave as soon as the catalogue goes on-line, which is
usually a month before the sale. If you are unable to view during the
nominated hours, feel free to request viewing at another time. A client told
me recently that he was in Melbourne the week before our formal viewing
period and would have loved the opportunity to see the lots first-hand. He
could have, by simply by phoning our office and making an appointment.
5. It has been quite a revelation to learn how many of our clients listen in
to the live audio feeds from our auctions. This facility has now been
enhanced by making scans of the lots available. As we advance to the next
lot, the screen image changes. You also have before you the results for the
previous five lots. Naturally, we get asked all the time when we will have live
bidding over the Internet. I would love to tell you that it’s being introduced
for this auction. However, it remains a priority “work in progress”. We don’t
want to offer the live bidding facility until it has been rigorously tested and
we are confident that it is all that it needs to be. Watch this space!

6. I am often asked how we arrive at the estimates on collections and other mixed lots. My approach
is to publish a figure at or about the price I would be happy to pay for the lot if I wanted to buy it. On
that basis, all our collection lots should represent good value at the estimate. (There are
exceptions to this, of course, notably where a vendor insists on a higher estimate. Thankfully, such
instructions are rarely given.)
You need to be aware we cannot guarantee that every lot you buy will represent good value. On
occasion clients engage in a “bidding war”, with the victor sometimes ruing the fact that he has won
the battle. For the auctioneer and the vendor, that’s one of the joys of public auction. For the buyer,
the joy is in buying a collection for less than he would have been prepared to pay, or finding a hidden
gem or two that nobody had noticed in the lotting or viewing stages.
While we cannot guarantee the contents or the value of any collection lot, we can assure you that
we endeavour not to mislead our clients. We routinely use terms such as “mixed condition” or
“condition problems here” etc. This should be an amber flag warning you not to expect every item in
the lot to be pristine. Sometimes, in spite of our cautions, people get carried away and pay too much
for a mixed lot. Most take it in their stride, reasoning that “you win some, you lose some”.
Very occasionally, however, someone will seek to return a mixed lot that falls short of his
expectations. This is simply not acceptable, to us, or to the vendor. It is the buyer who has
volunteered to pay too much, not the auctioneer who has charged too much. If there is one sure way
to get an auctioneer off-side, it is to ignore the Terms of Sale. Ours are published at page 6 of every
catalogue. If you have never read them, could I encourage you to do so now.
7. All of us at Prestige Philately were delighted to learn that
our United States agent, Steve Schumann, was
recently presented with America’s highest philatelic
honour, the John N Luff Award for Exceptional
Contributions to Philately. Steve’s middle name is
“Volunteer”, and he has served in a variety of capacities to
assist and lead many US stamp organisations. His
philatelic CV is quite extraordinary and I’m sure everyone
will join us in applauding Steve for this well-deserved
recognition for his contributions to philately over a very
long period. Our photo shows Steve signing The Luff Roll,
in the presence of that other distinguished collector,
Robert (Bob) Odenweller.
8. Finally, I hope you will find something in this catalogue for which to bid boldly. But, if not, we would
be grateful if you let somebody else know about material in which you believe he or she might be
interested. That’s a sure way to earn some brownie points, with both your friend and us.
OFFICIAL PERFINS OFFERED “AS IS”
Buyers of Australian stamps need to be aware of an unfortunate situation that has arisen in the
local market whereby no recognised philatelic expert or expert committee will provide certificates of
genuineness in respect of official perfins, unless the provenance of the particular stamp(s) is
unquestioned. Consequently, unless approved prior to an auction, we can no longer permit
extensions in respect of perfins and all such items are, of necessity, now offered “as is”.
Prospective purchasers need to satisfy themselves that such items are genuine. For our part, we
will not knowingly offer material from dubious vendors or that we otherwise have reason to suspect
is not genuine.
This regrettable situation has required an amendment to paragraph 10 of our Terms of Sale:
see page 6 of this catalogue.

Understandin our Symbols & Unique Gradin System
At Prestie Philately we utilise much the same symbols as other firms, but with some additional categories that you should be aware of. We are the only
major firm in the world that actually grades the quality of the material we offer. While some clients have struggled with the whole concept of grading, most
have clearly embraced the idea and we receive much favourable comment about the system. It is important that you understand our Grading System because
the symbols used form part of the lot description. We are confident that once you are comfortable with our gradings, you will always be satisfied with the
quality of the material you purchase from us. And, in the event that we have missed a tear or a thin and consequently overgraded an item, we WANT you to
return it. We stand behind the Prestie Grading System.
1. Firstly, we have the lot number. If it is in bold and printed in bright red, the item is illustrated: e.g. 1234. (The actual location of the illustration is
given at the end of the description: e.g. {Page 41.8} is position 8 on page 41.)
2. The second column contains a symbol, which represents the item(s) in the lot:
** Mint, unmounted o.g. * Mint, mounted o.g.
Ω Unused, no gum Δ Piece
C Cover or card PS Postal Stationery
CL Cover, long CX Cover, oversize
A Albums and accessories B Booklet
E Essay L Literature
P Proof R Reprint
S Stamp (“Postmarks” lots)
or, in the case of used stamps, a grading of the cancellation:
V Neat postmark, leaving most of the stamp design clear O Used, quality unspecified
F Neat postmark, across at least half of the stamp design G Untidy or indistinct postmark
H Heavy or poorly struck postmark
3. The third column gives an overall quality assessment for the lot, from ‘A’ to ‘D’. The same standard applies to mint and used stamps, to covers,
postal stationery, literature etc. An item graded ‘A’ is very fine; it has no faults. ‘B’ items are fine and may have minor imperfections. A ‘C’ item will exhibit
obvious faults. Items in poor condition are rated ‘D’.
Occasionally, an item in truly superb condition will be rated ‘A+’. This grading is used sparingly and is not applied to modern material, which one would
normally expect to be in very fine to superb condition.
An otherwise very fine item which has a subsidiary problem may be allocated an ‘A-’. This may be a stamp with writing or a hinge remainder on the reverse. A
cover may have a receiver’s endorsement on the face. The halves of a letter card may be stuck together. A book may have a previous owner’s notations.
Whether this factor makes the item an ‘A-’ or ‘B’ is a matter of degree. NB: An expertiser’s signature or handstamp on a cover or the reverse of a stamp will not
normally be cause for downgrading the quality of an item: such marks will be mentioned and you should make your decision as to whether or not such an item
is of the standard that you personally require.
Occasionally, the symbol ‘A’ to ‘C’ will appear in brackets: eg (B). This signifies that the item has been renovated or repaired and improved to the grade
indicated by the letter. The brackets indicate a qualified grading, the cause for which will be mentioned in the description of the lot.
4. The fourth column is relevant to perforated stamps, and also to lots listed under the sub-heading ‘Postmarks’.
For perforated stamps, this column gives a grading for both centring and perforations. The letter ‘A’ to ‘D’ relates to centring. ‘A’ stamps are very well centred;
‘B’ stamps are slightly off-centre; ‘C’ stamps are significantly off-centre, and may have the perforations slightly into the design; ‘D’ stamps are badly off-centre,
with the perforations well into the design.
[NB: These gradings are the same for all perforated issues, whether Australian Decimals, De La Rue Colonial keyplates or 19 th Century American issues.
However, it should be understood that for many issues poor centring is the norm. Thus ‘C’, and even ‘D’, gradings should be expected and accepted. For such
issues a ‘B’ stamp will be above-average and an ‘A’ stamp will be considered an exceptional copy.]
Following the letter ‘A’ to ‘D’ is a number ‘1’ to ‘4’. A stamp with all perforations intact is ‘1’. One or two short perfs, or normal rough perforations, will drop the
grading to ‘2’. More notable perforation problems such as the perfs down one side being trimmed will result in a ‘3’ grading. A stamp with major perforation
faults will be a ‘4’.
[NB: A stamp graded ‘A1’ is well-centred with all perforations intact. In many cases, particularly with modern issues, this is the norm. However, for many
issues, ‘B2’ or even ‘C3’ may be normal and quite acceptable.]
For lots listed under the sub-headings “Postmarks” and “Ship/Paquebot Markings”, or similar, this column gives a grading for quality of the strike of the
marking itself, and completeness. Quality is graded from ‘A’ (very fine) to ‘D’ (poor). Completeness is graded from ‘1’ (complete) to ‘5’ (identifiable only). ‘+’ is
used for superb strikes; ‘-’ is used for postmarks that are lightly struck, a little doubled, or otherwise a bit short of the mark.
5. The symbols in the second, third and fourth columns, and the illustrations of lots, form part of the lot description.
6. Figures in the right-hand column are our estimate of value. (If a lot attracts tax for Australian buyers, the estimate is in green, follwed by a small
"T".) You may bid at, above or below estimate. The reserve price for almost every lot is 75% of estimate (rounded to the nearest bidding step). Bids below this
level will not be considered.
7. We use the following standardised abbreviations:
o.g. original gum opt(d) overprint(ed) PPC picture postcard
d/s datestamp cds circular datestamp h/s handstamp
mss manuscript; handwritten ERD earliest recorded date LRD latest recorded date
o/o opened-out RLabel registration label M/S(s) miniature sheet(s)

Prestie Philately - Public Auction Terms of Sale
(amended as at 1 st July 2007: see in particular Paragraph 10 as to the unavailability of extensions to have perfins expertised)
1. AUCTIONEER: Prestige Philately (Prestie), a company incorporated in the State of Victoria, is the auctioneer, and adheres to the
standard terms of sale of the Australasian Philatelic Traders Association.
2. DESCRIPTIONS: We endeavour to describe lots fully and accurately. The description of a lot comprises 1) the codes to the left of the
description (for details of our symbols and grading codes, see the previous page of this catalogue); 2) the description; and 3) any
illustration of the lot or part of the lot. (The various codes and symbols are explained on the previous page.
3. ESTIMATES: The figure in the right-hand column following each lot description is the starting price of the lot in Australian dollars. A
bidder - may bid at, above or below the estimate. Bids below the reserve price (usually 75% of the estimate) will not be accepted. There is
no reserve on lots listed at $20 or less.
4. BIDDING: Bids may be made to Prestie by mail, by fax, by e-mail or by phone. Bids received by phone must be confirmed in writing.
At public auctions, bids may also be made in person, by phone (by prior arrangement) or through an agent attending an auction. An agent
must advise Prestie of the person(s) for whom bids are being submitted or else the agent will be personally liable for payment and
delivery of any lots purchased. Prestie reserves the right to refuse any bid, or to refuse bids from any person, for any reason.
In most cases, Prestie's bidding steps are as follows:
$150 - 300 $10 rises $3000 - 5000 $200 rises
$300 - 500 $20 rises $5000 - 10000 $250 rises
Under $30 $1 rises $500 - 750 $25 rises $10000 - 15000 $500 rises
$30 - 50 $2 rises $750 - 1500 $50 rises $15000 - 30000 $1000 rises
$50 - 150 $5 rises $1500 - 3000 $100 rises over $30000 average of 5% rises
Prestie reserves the right to raise or lower postal bids (depending on the bidder's apparent intention) to conform to these bidding steps.
5. TELEPHONE BIDDING: Bidding by telephone during the course of a public auction is permitted. However, clients wishing to use this
service must contact Prestie at least 24 hours before the auction regarding the special conditions that apply. [To see these special
conditions, go to www.prestigephilately.com from where the Telephone Bidding Terms can be read and downloaded.]
6. GOODS & SERVICES TAX (GST): Australian law requires that GST equal to 10% of the knock-down or sale price of a taxed lot shall be
payable by the buyer, unless the taxed lot is exported to another country. Taxed lots are indicated in the catalogue by the estimate figure:
being printed in bright green, followed by a small "T". GST equal to 10% of the amount of any fees or charges added by Prestie is
also payable by Australian buyers.
7. BUYER: The buyer of a lot shall be the person to whom the lot is sold ("knocked-down") by Prestie. In the event of equal bids being
received, the earliest such bid shall be successful. In the event of a dispute, Prestie shall have absolute discretion in the settling of the
dispute.
A lot is at the buyer's risk once it has been sold ("knocked-down") but ownership (legal title) will not pass to the buyer until Prestie has
received payment in full for the lot.
8. PAYMENT: Payment is due immediately a lot is sold, or immediately upon receipt of an invoice. For public auctions only, in addition to
the price for which a lot is sold, the buyer shall pay a premium of 15% of that price, plus any fees for postage packing and insurance or
credit card use that are charged by Prestige, plus GST as appropriate. No buyer's premium is charged or payable in respect of postal
auctions. (Payment should always be made in Australian dollars. If payment is made in another currency the buyer shall add the
equivalent of $A50 towards bank fees, any resulting credit being placed to the buyer's account.)
In the event that the buyer does not make payment in full for the lot(s) within 30 days from the date of the invoice, Prestie shall have
the right to exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies:
1) To impose an accounting fee of $10 per month (or part thereof) plus compound interest at the rate of 2.5% per
month (or part thereof) of the total amount outstanding;
2) To terminate the contract with the buyer, in which case any monies received from the buyer shall be forfeited to
Prestie;
3) To terminate the contract and resell the lot(s) at any time, in which case any resulting shortfall, plus costs
including accounting fees, interest, insurance and resale expenses, shall be met by the original buyer;
4) To apply any monies due at any time from Prestie to the buyer in payment of the outstanding amount;
5) To take legal action against the buyer for damages for breach of contract.
9. RETURN OF LOTS: A lot may be returned, within a reasonable time, only because of an error in the description: see clause 2 for the
definition of "the description". A lot that has been inspected by the buyer or by the buyer's agent cannot be returned for any reason. A lot
that is illustrated in the catalogue or of which an illustration has been supplied to the buyer or to the buyer's agent cannot be returned for
any reason that is apparent from the illustration.
A lot expressed to be a "range", "group", "selection", "array", "collection"," accumulation" or similar, or any other lot containing more than
10 items - excepting sets of stamps - is always offered "as is" and cannot be returned for any reason. Similarly, other lots offered "as is"
cannot be returned.
10. "EXTENSIONS": A request for an extension to submit a lot to a recognised expert or expert committee for a Certificate of Authenticity
must be made in writing prior to or on the day of the auction. Prestie shall have an absolute discretion not to grant an extension. [In
particular, an extension will not normally be granted if the lot is offered with a recent Certificate of Authenticity or if the stamp(s) has/have
perforated initials (perfins).] If an extension is granted, the buyer must make payment in full for the lot including the buyer's premium, in
accordance with the terms of Paragraph 8. The amount paid including the buyer's premium will be refunded in full if the lot is returned with
an acceptable "bad" Certificate. All costs associated with obtaining a certificate shall be borne by the buyer, unless the lot is found to be
not as identified in the catalogue, in which case all costs associated with obtaining the Certificate shall be refunded to the buyer.
A lot described as being defective in any way may not be returned should the Certificate obtained mention any fault not noted in the lot
description. The buyer shall not be entitled to reject an item if the certificate includes any findingt that does not materially affect the
grading of the lot.
Unless otherwise agreed, nomination of the appropriate expert or expert committee shall be made by Prestie, and Prestie will be
responsible for submitting the lot to that expert or expert committee. Should Prestie agree to the buyer's nomination of an expert or
expert committee, the extension granted will be for a period of no more than 90 days from the date of the auction. If a Certificate
has not been obtained within 90 days from the date of the auction, the extension shall lapse and Prestie may thereafter refuse to
accept the return of the lot.
11. GOVERNING LAW: These Terms of Sale shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Victoria.
12. Submitting a bid by any method constitutes acknowledgment and acceptance of these Terms of Sale.

below 1% - are really well centred. This stamp is significantly better centred than the
unmounted Two Pounds that sold for $15,525 at our auction of 22/4/2006. The side-margin
enhances the outstanding appearance, and the Plate Flaw is a bonus. We have been
advised by our vendor that this stamp has not been on the market for almost 20 years. Truly,
this is a "golden opportunity" for the connoiseur collector]{Page 27.1}

"G'day from Down Under": the Trevor Davis Destination Mails
[Trevor Davis is one of the most respected postal history dealers in Great Britain. He is also a leading collector, having enjoyed
assembling a number of fine collections over the past 30 or so years. One of his "fun" collections that developed into a major study was
Destination Mail from the Australian Colonies. Major portions of this material were sold in recent years, including at our Rarities Auction
on 12/5/2007. This is the last of the collection but even among those offered here there are many fine and rare covers, a large number
of them to exotic or "difficult" destinations. These days many advanced students recognise that a "common" cover or rate can be
greatly enhanced by obtaining a relevant item addressed to somehere well off the beaten track. While Peru or Rumania are common
destinations for mail from Argentina or Germany respectively they are in the "rarely seen" category for mail from Australia. Similarly,
collectors of many other countries will recognise that mail FROM Australia is in their "highly desirable" category. We commend this
material to our clients]

SOUTH AUSTRALIA - NORTHERN TERRITORY POSTAL HISTORY
[We are pleased to offer the collection formed by the late Victor Bullock of Adelaide. "The Territory" is our Wild West: In 1871 there
were 201 whites in an area larger than New South Wales, compared with South Australia's population of 185,000. By 1883 the white
population had swelled to 2000, but the effects of recession two decades later caused this figure to be halved by 1908! Growth
thereafter was steady but even in 1954, at 16489, it was still less than 10% of South Australia's population 70 years earlier! Thus it
should be understood that most post offices were both remote and little utilised. Very little postal history has survived and most
datestamps even on stamp or piece are rare. It is a highly challenging collecting field. However, the small collector base means that
most NT material is grossly undervalued relative to its rarity. This then is an opportunity for new entrants who don't have unlimited
resources. References are from "The Postal History of the Northern Territory" by Ed Williams, and "Squared Circles..." by Overton]

[It isn't often that a collector has the opportunity to own a unique item, a stamp of equivalent rarity to
the famed 1c British Guiana, the New Gaspé Provisional, or the Tre Skilling Banco Error of Colour.

in the same league. Granted, but it is in much the same category as the famous 1c "Z" Grill of the
United States, a stamp that on the face of it is decidedly pedestrian, despite which it is worth

1857 two-page letter (without the envelope) to Charles Philip Hippolytus Baron de Thierry (in New
Zealand) headed "Norfolk Island/May 19th 1857" and signed "Ruth Quintal", an intimate missive that
hints at more than just a social acquaintance: "...I still fondly think of the happy hours we have spent in
your agreeable society at Pitcairn...I am sure your good heart will make up what is wanting in this
letter. Surely you will not attribute it to lack of affection...believe me to be yours ever truly and
affectionately", minor wrinkling and soiling but wholly legible. [A very early letter from the Pitcairners
who were relocated to Norfolk in June 1856, and unusually from a woman. Ruth Quintal was born on

1863 four-page 8vo letter (without the envelope) to Baron de Thierry (in New Zealand) headed "Norfolk

legible. [George Hunn Nobbs was the effective leader of the Pitcairn community and supervised their
relocation to Norfolk. He arrived on Pitcairn in 1828 and quickly assumed the roles of schoolteacher &
pastor, though it was only in 1852 that he travelled to England to be ordained. This letter highlights the
dangers to the Pitcairners of disease: "...We are in continual dread of the introduction of Variola
[smallpox] as a great number of our little ones have not been vaccinated...We have a great deal of
sickness introduced from Auckland, the Bay [of Islands] and Monganui, and shall continue to be so
infected...so long as...trading vessels visit us so frequently. One half of the school children, and many
grown persons are...suffering from Catarrh or Influenza, myself among their number..." Nobbs died on
Norfolk in 1884. See also Lots 994 to 996 under Pitcairn Island]{Page 119.1}

1850 stampless entire to the writer's sons at San Francisco and endorsed "Mr Hyam Joseph
will render the Baron de Thierry a great favour by seeing to the delivery of this letter to his
sons", the letter headed "Pitcairns Island/April 12th 1850" speaks of arrival at Pitcairn on the
Noble, and states "...Captain Parker, who commands the ship, went off and has left us here,
not knowing how or when we shall be able to get off again...Captain Parker carried off all our
clothes and property, and has left us destitute of everything...", and is signed "Thierry", some
staining/soiling and some splitting repaired with archival tape but wholly legible. A rare and
important historical document, and one of the earliest items of mail from Pitcairn Island in
private hands.
[de Thierry was one of the most colourful adventurers of the 19th Century. After one of his
agents "purchased" from Maori chiefs 40,000 acres in New Zealand in exchange for 36 axes
- shades of Stuyvesant and Batman! - de Thierry declared himself "Sovereign Chief of New
Zealand"! In 1835, he proposed to cut a canal across the Panama isthmus. En route from
Panama to New Zealand he was so intoxicated by the Marquesas he proclaimed himself
"King of Nukuhiva"! Encyclopedia of New Zealand states "In February 1850 he sailed for
California, two of his sons having preceeded him to the goldfields, but on the way was
marooned for a month on Pitcairn Island..." this, of course, being the incident described in
this letter! The badly defective Nobbs Correspondence, sold at auction in 2005, included a
number of earlier letters to Pitcairn, but the earliest from Pitcairn was dated 1854]{Page

995 L B - (late) undated letter (without the envelope) to Baron de Thierry at Honolulu, headed "Pitcairns Island"
& signed "George H Nobbs", a bit worn and some minor repairs effected with archival tape but wholly
legible. This is a marvellous document in which the removal of the Pitcairners to Norfolk Island in
1856 is foreshadowed. Nobbs states "I most sincerely console with you on the loss of your property
on board of the Noble and also of the failure of prospects in California...I trust that in Honolulu you will
find a more eligible a place for your various and valuable talents...in regard to the future destinies of
the people under my care, there is a report extant that her majesty's government have in contemplation
to expatriate them to Norfolk Island, first removing the members of the penal settlement...it would be
the best suited...of any spot on the inhabitable globe..." George Hunn Nobbs, who had served in both
the British & Chilean navies, arrived at Pitcairn in 1828 & quickly assumed the roles of schoolteacher &
pastor. Over time he became the effective leader of the community and supervised their transfer to
Norfolk, where he remained after 16 of the islanders returned to Pitcairn in 1859, followed by a further
4 families in 1864]{Page 122.1}

1851 lengthy letter (without the envelope) to John Adams (the Younger), headed "Honolulu, Sandwich
Islands/May 31st 1851", a bit soiled but largely fine and wholly legible, a second sheet - with de
Thierry's signature - missing though the four pages that remain have wonderful content: "...There is an
impression here among the white people that...one could employ a family of Pitcairn people...I would
be the first to warn you against such an offer, as it would inevitably break you up as a community...i
want to see you employers and not employed for others...The [Hawaiian] population is fast breaking
up...owing to the maladies introduced here...In morality the people are sadly degraded, and I would
dread to see your exemplary families thrown into contact with those of the native race...how long these
islands will be under a native king is a matter of the greatest uncertainty. The King is forever getting
himself into trouble with European nations...The Americans have long had an eye to these islands...I
shall remain at Honolulu 10 or 12 months longer, having promised the French Consul to act as
chancellor of the consulate until his return from Paris where he is gone to try to obtain the settlement of
the difficulties with King Kamehamaha III...Mr Brodie published it as his opinion that Norfolk Island
would be the best of all places for you...at Norfolk Island you would to all futurity be branded with
convict association being the place to which doubly convicted criminals are sent. It would indeed be a
sorry choice for the descendants of the mutineers of Bounty...Some people here are of opinion that
you must remain a secluded community, but that too is a very fatal error...more of the European stock
must be allied to you by marriage, or else your own race will degenerate and fall back with every
generation not only in the body but also in the mind. You are, as it were, one family, and constant
succession of unions with each other must ultimately bring many evils down upon you..."

[Given what has been learned in recent years of the "moral degradation" on Pitcairn, this was indeed a
prescient commentary. The Encyclopedia of New Zealand states that de Thierry was French consul in

ST. HELENA
1002 C B 1829 local entire addressed "To/Sir Dallas Esqr/James-town" with the letter dated "St Helena the 15
of/June 1829", the address panel a little soiled which hardly detracts from this extraordinary item.
[Charles Dallas was Governor from 1828 until 1836. Between 1821 & 1833 St Helena was
administered by the East India Company. We expect that very little mail of any kind - and especially
local mail - survives in private hands from this period. The contents are also extraordinary: "...we take
the freedom [sic] to present a few Amboina shells and some arms belonging to the inhabitants of the
SW coast of New Guinea or Papua..." and signed "The Commander and Officers of/the Dutch Sloop of
war Triton", who were returning to Europe after a voyage to New Guinea where they had founded Fort
Du Bus on Triton Bay & declared the area a Dutch possession! It is believed this is the earliest postal
article related to to any part of New Guinea or Papua, and specifically to the Dutch presence in New
Guinea. The settlement at Fort Dubus was abandoned in 1836)]{Page 126.1}
