I cant make out the rest of the >spelling. Suggest you check the shipping columns of the Melbourne Argus or I think its the Geelong Advertiser ?? newspapers for around this date. These papers on film in quite a few larger libraries There is also an index about on fiche re shipping arrival notices in the Argus . NSW State Library has this .
