 Ostracised by the convicts, and disillusioned by Sorell's broken promise to return Musquito to Sydney, Musquito decided to leave the settlement for the bush.Musquito formed the "tame gang", of 20 to 30 companions, and joined the Oyster Bay tribe (of Great Oyster Bay).In November 1823 and later in 1824, Musquito and the tame gang raided farms on the east coast of Tasmania and killed several stockmen.
