A Voyage to Botany Bay by George Barrington

GOVERNOR Philip still desirous of being reconciled with the natives, did not harbour any resentment towards them on account of the late transaction, which he construed to have proceeded from a sudden impulse of fear rather than treachery, and had given the necessary directions that none of them should be fired at, or any ways molested, unless they provoked it by the throwing of spears, or other hostilities.

Nanbarre, the boy, who had now become a tolerable interpreter, attended some of the officers who were on a shooting excursion, near the spot where the accident to the governor had happened, a number of natives appeared on the eminence at a short distance; being asked who it was that threw the spear at the governor, they named a man of the tribe who dwelt to the northward; that his name was Carrigal. Nanbarre was also desired to enquire after Banalong and Coalby, when they pointed to some people at a distance--One of whom threw a a spear at an officer who asked for it: but evidently with no mischievous design, as he took care it fell where nobody was standing.
