Instructions to Flinders from Admiralty for voyage of discovery in HMS Investigator (FLI03) Page 6


down the Course and the Banks
thereof, and noting the Soundings,
going on shore as often as it
shall appear probable that any
considerable variation has taken
place either in the productions of
the soil, or the Customs of the
Inhabitants, examining the Country
as far inland as shall be thought
prudent to venture with the
small number of Persons who
can be spared from the Charge of
the Veƒsel, wherever there appears
to be a probability of discovering
any thing useful to the Commerce
or manufacture of the United
Kingdom.


      When you shall have com-
pletely examined the whole of the
Coast from Baƒse's Straits to
King George the third's Harbour
