Has Description QuotehasDescriptionQuote

• The party who are erecting the first section of the Cape York telegraph-line have returned until after the wet season. The line has been cut for a distance of sixty nine miles and erected for twenty eight miles. There is heavy timber in places, but easy cutting ahead. The blacks did not interfere with the main party, but attacked two men who were packing rations on the Morehead River. One of the men was pulling his horse out of a bog by the tail when a spear passed between the man and the horse's tail. The other man got a rifle and fired and the blacks then cleared. One horse died from eating poison-grass and three bullocks were speared. One died with five spears in it. Only four of the party are remaining behind as camp keepers.^[1]all time · Row 1930 Eid 54627
