AN OLD KANGAROO ISLANDER. - A correspondent writes from Hog Bay: - "Mr. T. Clarke died at his son's (Mr. R. Clarke) residence at Antechamber Bay on the 19th, after a short illness, aged eighty-two. Thus has passed away the once celebrated Tom Clarke, the noted headsman of bygone times, when whaling was an important industry in the colony. Tom Clarke was stationed at Encounter Bay for many seasons, and his reported feats of great strength are well known in that locality. He had resided on the island for many years, and was highly respected. A goodly number of neighbours attended his funeral to show their respect for him."
