Obituary

The Late Dr. Everard.— The death of Dr. C. G. Everard took place at Ashford, the residence of his son, the Hon. W. Everard, M.L.C., South Australia, on March 30. The S. A. Register says that the deceased, who was in his eighty-second year, was pioneer colonist, and shared the heat and burden of the toil connected with the settlement of the province, in the general advancement of which he always took a deep interest. He was a man of strong constitution, and till late years had enjoyed excellent health, but advancing age led to a gradual breaking up of his system. He had been ill for the last year and ten months, so his departure was not unexpected. He passed away without pain, retaining his faculties to the last moment. Dr. Everard was born in Gloucester on August 20, 1794, and was educated for the medical profession, which he afterwards followed with considerable success in London. He was one of the South Australian Association, which had for its object the formation of a colony on the Wakefield system, and upon the passing of the Act he was one of the earliest, purchasers in the projected settlement. He came to South Australia in the Africaine, commanded by Captain Duff, which vessel brought the first independent settlers, and he had thus the honour of being one of the pioneers of the country. The Africaine arrived at Nepean Bay, Kangaroo Island, on the 3rd November, 1836, afterwards coming up the Gulf to Holdfast Bay, off Glenelg, where she landed her passengers. The Colonial Surgeon, Mr. T. Y. Cotter, not being ready to leave England until the departure of the Coromandel, Mr. Everard offered his gratuitous services as surgeon until his arrival, which, were accepted and afterwards suitably acknowledged by the Colonisation Commissioners. On arrival of the Buffalo with Captain Hindmarsh, the first Governor of the Province, Mr. Everard, was one of those who, in December 28, 1836, assembled to hear the reading of the proclamation constituting South Australia a British colony. He was long in the roll of Justices of the Peace, and was a member of the Central Road Board for many years. In February, 1857, at the introduction of the new Constitution, he was elected a member of the Legislative Council, and he was the only one of the original number who served twelve years in that body without re-election. Mr. Everard resided at Ashford, on the Bay Road, for the last thirtyeight years, having never visited England or gone beyond the province for any length of time since his arrival. The deceased gentleman has left two sons— the Hon. W. Everard, Minister of Education, and Mr. C. J. Everard, of Marshfield, Bay Road— and one daughter— Mrs. R. E. Lucy — besides several grandsons and granddaughters.

EARLY SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

Interesting Old Letters.

III.—By A. T. Saunders.

The following letters, copies of which are in the archives, were written to his sister, Mrs. Lucy, by Dr. C. G. Everard, who gave her his address as "Dr. Everard, Chief Town of South Australia." The address of Mrs. Lucy was Hillsley House, Poothenem Deredge, Gloucestershire, postage paid:—

"On board the Africaine, off Deal, 2/7/1836. My Dear Sister—I write these lines to inform you that we cleared, out of London docks on Tuesday last at noon, arrived same evening at Graves end, sailed on Thursday morning from thence, and arrived last night at the Downs, where we now are, but expect to sail again this evening. We are all well, free from sea sickness, and in excellent spirits; 98 souls on board. Our accommodation is good, our provisions are excellent. I pay for the passage of my family £168, and receive a free passage for myself and £20 for the medicine chest. I have not time to say more, but I wish all of you health and happiness.—Chas. G. Everard."

At the Cape.

The next letter to 'My Dear Sister' is from Adelaide, South Australia, 29/5/1837: —"The brig Rapid being on the point of sailing to England, I seize the opportunity of sending you a few lines. We sailed from the Downs, 3/7/1836, and after a most beautiful voyage landed on Kangaroo Island, 3/11/1836. We stopped a week by-the-way, to refresh, at the Cape of Good Hope, which appeared to me a charmingly picturesque and romantic country. I made an excursion on horseback about 24 miles across the country, and was delighted with the natural flora and the great variety and beautiful plumage of the birds. I travelled the 24 miles at night after sunset. I was attacked by several dogs, which rushed out upon the road, barking or rather howling at the heels of my horse. I was informed after wards that they were hyenas. The wild animals appear to me a great drawback to enjoying the rural life at the Cape, for even in the immediate vicinity of the town, tigers are occasionally met with [sic]. One mountain near is called Tiger Berg. At Simons Town we were hospitably entertained at the house of a merchant, while James and Charles [his sons] went in a bullock wagon, drawn by 18 oxen, some miles up country to the farm of a Dutch wine-merchant, who was very kind to them.

Kangaroo Island.

"Six weeks after leaving our kind friends at the Cape, we landed at Kangaroo Island, which did not present anything remarkable to induce us to remain there. The whole island appearing a vast thicket of rather small trees with thick underwood of evergreens, many of which were extremely ornamental, but the soil was sandy and fresh water was to he found in but few places. The South Australian Company have, however, established a settlement there at a beautiful bay called Nepean, and have given the name of Kingscott (sic) to the town. We, however, lost two of our settlers there, who, with four more attempted to cross the island, and were lost in the bush and died, probably of thirst. We stayed four days at Kangaroo Island, and then proceeded to the spot, which, as our chief surveyor indicated, is the place probably of our future settlement, which was about two (sic) miles up St. Vincent's Gulf.

Holdfast Bay.

"On 9/11/36 we landed at Holdfast Bay, and pitched our tent about a mile from the beach, near some fine ponds of fresh water, abounding with wild ducks, pigeons, black and white cockatoos, and parakeets of most charming plumage, and great variety. All of these birds, also quail, were to be had in great abundance. The quail are most delicate eating. James is at present our only sportsman, and an excellent shot he is, rarely failing to bring down his bird, and it would have amused you to see him with his gun and a naked blackboy on each side of him after the game. Apropos of the natives, they are far from numerous, and are on the most friendly terms with us, doing us any kind of office they can, such as fetching water and wood, and arc grate ful for anything we give them, and are very fond of biscuit. You must under stand we were the first settlers; those who preceded us were the surveyors, and their people and some of the company's which form the settlement at Kangaroo Island, where they have been about four months. After pitching our tents and landing our goods, myself, William, and our man proceeded to build a cottage, the one in which we now live, and a very comfortable one it is, I assure you! The framework is of small trees, and the walls of flags cut from the lagoon, and the roof of reeds; interior fittings of deal, which on board ship were our bed places, and the floor of clay rammed hard and covered partly withcIndia matting and partly of oilcloth. We then dug up the ground for a garden, in which vegetables grew well. I had some delicious watermelon, some of 10 lb. weight, the seed of which we procured at the Cape.

Adelaide "Admirably Chosen."

"After a very long delay, the site of our chief town was fixed, and it certainly is admirably chosen, and must eventually become a very prosperous city. It is situated on two gentle slopes, with a river between of excellent water; beautiful plains surround it, with a sufficiency of timber to make it look well, and it is about five miles from where our cottage is, which is called Glenelg, and seven miles from the harbour, which is called Port Adelaide, but a canal is contemplated of six miles in length, which will bring merchandise from the Port to the city. They did not make the city at the Port on account of its marshy situation and its want of good water. I have 10 acres of the town, five of which were mine by priority of choice; the remainder I bought at a public Sale, and the average price was £6 per acre. I would not sell one of my first five for less than £200. I do not expect we shall get our country sections for 12 months to come; we have such a paucity of good surveyors. The Rapid goes to England for the purpose of fetching some.

Pleased with the Country.

"Before I fill my paper I should tell you that the country, soil, and climate exceed my most sanguine expectations, and I would not return to live in England on any account. This is near the shortest day, and the days are like English summer there—65 degrees by day, and at night 56 to 60 degree. The greatest heat of summer has been 110 degrees in the shade, but very endurable, on account of the fine land and sea breezes. William desires his love to his cousin, and tell Elizabeth that if she does not bring it, he despairs of ever getting the purse she promised him. The distance is only 12,000 miles! I am now, with William's assistance only, foiling and grubbing up trees upon one acre, preparatory to building our town house.

A Labourer's Wages.

"I have lost our labourer; he would not work for me any longer, although I had agreed to give him 12/ per week, but he could earn more, he said, and if I did not choose to advance him he would leave, and he accordingly did. In England he did not earn, on an average, more than 6/ per week, and did not taste meat from one week's end to another. Here he got meat every day, and less than a bottle of rum a day was not enough for him. Honest, sober and industrious labourers are much wanted here. They would very much better their condition, and soon become independent. Therefore, William and I were obliged to work hard, but we enjoy it, as we know that it is all for our comfort and prosperity.

A Viceregal Entertainment.

"The Governor would have appointed me to the magistracy if I could have made up my mind to live at Kangaroo Island, and I should have had £100 per annum, but I declined, as I like this place too well to leave it altogether. His Excellency (Governor Hindmarsh) has given one entertainment since he has been here —ball and supper— to which we were invited, and it passed off very agreeably. I have no room for more now than to say that we all enjoy excellent health, and with best wishes of all of us to all yours, believe me to remain yours truly, sincerely, and affectionately. 

Chas. G. Everard."

The diary of Mary Thomas, who came out in the same, ship (Africaine), should be read with this. From memory I do not think she found the provisions and treatment so good as Dr. Everard did at the beginning of the voyage.
