Then BONEY died in his sleep, under the big LEICHARDT tree, on the bank of the creek near the old station homestead. He had a very hurried & rough burial. A shallow hole on the sandy ridge with a few saplings across to hold his body. Jimmy was not old when he died, & when KUTCHUNG died soon after, Yorkie said that was a good job too as he had killed Jimmy. Some homeĀ made or doctored rum from a pub on the BOYNE is said to have finished Yorkie.

Yorkie believed in GHOSTS, & reckoned we each had our own ghost. You got a ghost, I got a ghost, said Yorkie. Wherever we go, our ghost goes too, underneath the ground. Suppose you walk along to a water hole, & look into the water, what is that you see? That is your ghost. Strange to say WOW is the name for GHOST also for WHITE FELLOW.

In the early days thay say that the POLICE shot DICKY YABRON to save the trouble of taking him to GLADSTONEĀ
