OCCUPATIONS: Cook-Steward on Missionary Barque " Dayspring " (1871)- managed a Cotton plantation at Vanuatu (1873) - Chief Cook at Sydney Temperance Hall (1878-1893).
GENERAL NOTES: The Dayspring first arrived, from where she built in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, at Sydney, on about 14th Jan. 1865, after settling the Gordons, McCullaghs and the Morissons on their several stations in the islands. Captain Fraser was likely the Captain in command. The journey had taken 14 months. (left Halifax Oct 1863).
The Dayspring arrived at Portland, Victoria, 21 April 1871 from Belfast (Port Fairy). Atkinson's Plan of the Special Survey 1850, Port Fairy, including the Township of Belfast, shows the Moyne River flowing into the Belfast Lough.
The Dayspring left Portland on 22 April 1871 with the following passengers- Dr Geddie, Mrs Paton & 3 children, & a white servant ( may be Elizabeth Ann). Arrived New Hebrides (Vanuatu) 17 May 1871. See full file on Vanuatu etc. etc. Was given a grant of land by a native chief. Copy held by Donald Allen.
