range failed to make it & about 15 were suffocated.

An Abo won't kill puppies or kittens& if there are more than they want they leave them in a hollow log or stump to die. MAYBOY was sent back to a yard at an outstation to kill a young calf that had lost its mother, & when he caught us up & was asked if he had killed it he said "oh no, it will dead myself directly".

Have seen Abos & 1/2 castes do some very clever things in the bush. Was out with Tom one day looking for some fresh horses to muster. We saw a half grown dingo. Tom got a stick raced up to the dingo on its off side, threw the stick & got & scalped the dingo. We went on up to BOOLBOONDOO swamp & saw five more big pups. Tom dismounted & got two sticks, & got two pups, grabbed stick off iron bark trees & got two more. Five dingoes in five shots. My share was No.6, ran it till it was knocked up before killing. Scalps were 2/6. Tom
