 "Stedcomb", G. Barnes, master, left England on 17 June 1824, bound for New South Wales.An early report had "Stedcombe" foundering on passage from London for Tasmania, after leaving part of her cargo at Melville Island.It turned out that the local inhabitants at Timor Laut had attacked "Stedcombe" in 1825, killing all but the two crewmen that they then kept as slaves.
