He first went to P.N.G. in the "Merrie England" in 1892 at 20 yrs. & tried his hand at gold digging on Woodlark Island, returned to Coen to marry, & returned to P.N.G. 1898 to take part in the Milne Bay & later Mambare gold rushes. Later, he ran boats with supplies along the coast & to Cooktown. This information supplied by his grandaughter, Ann Wiltshire |
