EXPLORER 1860.

Explore r 1860_ Those were the words we read Burnt deep in a board Wired to a tree-nea rly dead. A few old flowers- Withered-showing someone hod cared, Lay heaped at our feel. Amazed-we stood and stared._ A broken while fe nce, Charred-surrounding the mound. Was all that prevented Desecration of hallowed ground. A forgo tte n grave- Dug some rrules from Caloundra, Alone remains, In memory of William Landsborough.

EXCERPTS FROM VffiGll.. Behold I \ From Tenedos o'er the tranquil bay In monstrous coils, that thrash and flay The sleeping waters, in their play Glide serpents twain. Amid the waves each rears its' breast And o'er the foam its blood-red crest It towers, and trails behind the rest Of lis lithe length. Now in huge coils they lash the surge, They rdce the waves, a nd reach the verge Of hapless Troy; a nd their noise ls the dirge Of fated Laocoon.
