Wow, so quick!

Thank you! And I didn't know a snow was a ship before either!

Yes please do delete section 20, It's there because I originally put in a Part 1 and 2 for one of the sections which after all didn't need it. Thanks

Section 13 done! https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/settlementatportjackson_12_tench_128kb.mp3 14:05
And I've inserted 'end of footnote' in section 12 as well.

I finally got time to record section 12! https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/settlementatportjackson_12_tench_128kb.mp3 28:12 This was interesting, it really highlights the misunderstandings on both sides and the escalation of retaliation between invaders and invaded. I get the impression Tench was s...

Just a quick note to say I haven't forgotten! I've been held up a bit lately but hope to record more soon

> at 13:06 : "forty- four feet long by sixteen wide" – may be optional, but if you want to be accurate, the house was 44 feet long, you said only 40 ;) I'm pretty happy with my editing job here! I managed to only insert the word "four" after "forty" and it sounds fairl...

Section 10 added https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/settlementatportjackson_10_tench_128kb.mp3 18:23 Another table, let me know if I handled it okay or not :hmm: The James Ruse he speaks of here has a very busy main road named after him in the suburb of Rose Hill, James Ruse Drive. Interesting what ...

> at 15:12: repeat, can be cut once: "he told them that they were nuffer"

Further evidence of the need for PLs! I've made the cut, thanks.

Section 9 ready at last! https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/settlementatportjackson_09_tench_128kb.mp3 18:25
Also have fixed up the issues in section 8 - no change at all to the duration time for that section as the changes were tiny.

Whoops! Thanks, will do!

Here is section 8: https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/settlementatportjackson_08_tench_128kb.mp3 13:43 8-) At 3:47, it says, "to cat until the stomach...", and I read it that way. I thought it was strange at the time! But on editing I think it's a proofreading error from Gutenberg and it s...

Thanks again, here is the fixed version, only the table has changed, from 10:15 as you indicated.

https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/settlementatportjackson_07_tench_128kb.mp3 now 16:24.

Kitty wrote: ↑September 9th, 2022, 8:54 amactually no...for tables as for anything else in the books, we usually don't insert personal explanations, usually they are read as written.

Thank you, I will fix it. Do I say 'here follows a table' first, or do I just launch into it?

Thanks for your feedback as always

Another interesting chapter! https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/settlementatportjackson_07_tench_128kb.mp3 16:15 But some issues to point out. Firstly, Sonia, I think you are French, am I right? In which case I have to apologise for my excruciating attempt at your beautiful language in this section!...

Shocking accounts of the starving population :? I hope this provision ship is coming soon. I was wondering why they wouldn't hunt and fish earlier and was it impossible to grow a garden in that area ? Do you know the area described in this book ? Couldn't they find a more suitable plot ? Not all Au...
