Has Description of EventhasDescriptionOfEvent
- The Reverend Edward Fuller tried to establish a mission on Hinchinbrook Island off the coast from Cardwell and informed the Scottish Catholic Missionary, the Reverend Father Duncan McNab, that he had "found only women and children all the men having been shot by the Native Police a few weeks prior to his arrival" in March 1874. Yet seven years before in the interior of the island Captain Major and party counted some 40 or 50 huts spread out over about half a square mile. Ernie Grant recalls: When I was a child there were between three and eight people per mija [hut] which gives an indication of the population of this one small part of Hinchinbrook Island before the killing times began. This one village then, contained at least 200 residents and suggests that there were many more people living here prior to 1874. What happened to them?

| Has Notes Comments | Source is a recount by a missionary who, with his family, attempted to establish a mission on the island yet only found women and children, as he believed or had heard all the men had been shot a few weeks earlier by the NMP. This was recorded later in the Cardwell Shire Story. The other source is pers. comm. between T. Bottoms and Dr Ernie Grant, a Jirrbal/Girramay elder, and descendent who has oral histories from his mother, relatives and ancestors, who recounted killings by NMP in the Cairns/Tully area, including Jilin Creek, Kirrama Station and Blencoe Falls. Dr Grant has also researched NMP (see acknowledgements in Bottoms 2008). See also illustrations 18 an 19 in Bottoms 2008. Note the Brisbane Courier story is not directly related to this event but does place the NMP under John Murray (and possibly Marlow) and group of troopers on Hinchinbrook Island on at least one occasion prior to 1874 though no attacks recorded. The end of the article implies NMP to return to search for 4 missing white men shipwrecked there and living with a group. | [1] |
