He was well known all over the country. When my father went, as a boy, to the " bon-yi " feast (on the Blackall) with the OF EARLY QUEENSLAND. 187 blacks, he was introduced as belonging to " Dalaipi's" tribe.
On another occasion he went with Mr. Pettigrew to Mary- borough, to look round the country and notice the timber.
(Mr. Pettigrew wished to start a sawmill, and he knew if my father accompanied him he would be saved trouble with the blacks.) Two young blacks they took with them, " Dal-ngang... and " Kerwalli " (meaning " spilt ") ; the latter was afterwards known as old King Sandy, and he died at Wynnum in 1900.
In those days Maryborough consisted of only a few houses.
Mr. Pettigrew and his companion walking along a road there, came in sight of two gins coming towards them, and my father remarked, " When they get within speaking distance I will have a bit of fun." So he called to them, " Yin, wanna yan man ? " (Where are you going ?). They jumped at this in great excitement, saying one to the other that here was a white man who could speak their tongue, so Father had a yarn with them.
