Note 1: died on the voyage to Australia DEATH OF MARY MCLEAY An article written in the Sydney Morning Herald Saturday 23'd January It is from the Journal of Missionaries from "Portsmouth" on the Royal Admiral which arrived in Sydney 22.11.1800 by the Rev. T Hawes. His entry for July1st stated "Last night died of fever Mrs Howe, a convict's wife her case was peculiarly affecting being far advanced in a state of pregnancy. She left behind her a fine boy about 5 years old whom we took under our care until we arrive at Port Jackson. His father says that he considers it a great favour. Her body was brought upon deck about half past 12 at night. J Youl prayed, then her body was committed to the deep. He exhorted those present, particularly her husband, to consider it as a call from God to prepare to meet death and judgment as he also might shortly be summoned to appear at the bar of God." Brother Youl gave no comfort to anyone. The text for his bleak burial service was Revelations 20.15- "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." A lesser man than George Howe might have joined his wife in the deep. But Howe, a printer who had received a life sentence for shoplifting under the name of George Happy alias Happy George, escaped typhus and later became publisher of Australia's first newspaper, the Sydney Gazette.
