G'day John in Brisbane (i>et al),

I've just ducked back into this thread because, while I was researching something totally different for a friend in Tasmania, I came across a reproduction of a (Sydney?) newspaper's contemporary acccount of the stranding and rescue of David Low(ries)ton.

If you are interested, I'll scan it in and send you the text ... or post it to this thread to round out the historical narrative.

Regards,

Bob
