Hi, checked most of the online newspapers at http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home for reports of the event. They are almost word for word a copy of what was in the Geelong advertiser. I was hoping that I might find a mention of the other names. But no luck. regards Robyn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lynne Tocher" <lintoch@pnc.com.au> To: <AUS-VIC-GEELONG-DISTRICT@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2009 10:41 AM Subject: [GEELONG] Drowning >I am interested in a mishap which occurred first Sunday in 1849 when a >ship/dinghy from Victor overturned as it was returning the Master , Captain >Kirkus to his barque after church.
