BALL’S HEAD.
———◦———

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.

    Sir,—Mr Edgar J Godfrey, in your issue of the 20th instant, writing about reserving Ball’s Head for recreation purposes “in honour of Lieutenant Ball, who was the first man to sail round Australia,” states what I have never seen in print before. I have always been under the impression that it was Captain Matthew Flinders, in the Investigator, to whom the credit is due for having achieved that. I am not aware that Lieutenant Ball ever did it at any time. Would Mr Godfrey kindly give his authority for the statement?

I am, etc,
