Page "Arthur Phillip" Paragraph 22
from
Wikipedia
Phillip also had to adopt a policy towards the Eora Aboriginal people, who lived around the waters of Sydney Harbour.
Phillip ordered that they must be well-treated, and that anyone killing Aboriginal people would be hanged.
On the beach at Manly, a misunderstanding arose and Phillip was speared in the shoulder: but he ordered his men not to retaliate.
Phillip went some way towards winning the trust of the Eora, although the settlers were at all times treated extremely warily.
