The brothers at once agreed to accept the offer.



CHAPTER THREE.

The Gilpins no longer felt like newly arrived immigrants when they found
themselves on their way to Warragong, the station of which they had
undertaken charge.  They were far, however, from being over-confident of
success, or of pleasing their employers; but they had resolved to make
up by diligence and perseverance for their want of experience, and Mr
Prentiss assured them that he had no doubt of their doing well.  Sam
Green had thrown in his lot with them, and though receiving good wages
from Mr Prentiss, he begged that he might be allowed to accompany them
on the chance of their being able to give him permanent employment.
Knowing by this time the value of a thoroughly trustworthy servant in
Australia, they were very glad to accept his offer.  They, as well as
Sam, had been furnished with excellent horses; and, much to his own
satisfaction as well as theirs, Larry Killock was sent with a light cart
to convey their luggage and various luxuries, which had been provided
through the kindness of Mrs Prentiss.  A native black, partly
civilised, and able to speak broken English, accompanied them as guide,
and formed the fifth person of this party.  He either travelled in the
cart or ran on foot beside it.

"I should think that very few settlers begin a life in the bush with so
many advantages as we possess," observed Arthur, as he rode on with his
brother, a little ahead of the cart; "we appear to have jumped over all
difficulties, and to have arrived at a point which many only reach after
years of toil."

"I am not quite certain that it will prove to our permanent advantage,"
answered James.  "I would rather have begun as we proposed, and worked
our way upward; we should the better be able to encounter difficulties
or mishaps
and receive wages for looking 
 after those of your employer, so that you will gain in both direction.   You 
 will receive also an accomplished organization by which, if it prove a good one, 
 prison term and labor may be saved.   I would gladly recover you employment, but 
 this will be far more to your advantage.   It was hoped, I think, that 
 one of my own sons would take it. " 

 The brothers at once agreed to bear the offer.
