BIRDS AND SHARKS.

The SS Gorgon:

The Black Range Courier, 4 April, 1912.

Proceeding onwards, the

steamer passed by several

small pieces of wreckage. 

One was a painting stage, 

and others apparently small 

pieces of wood.

Birds were about in unusually

large numbers.

Captain Rantzau of the SS Una:

Fix this text

 

"I would also like to state at this particular place there were a large number of sharks to be seen."

In my summary post

I refer to the absence of bodies indicating all trapped within the hull of Koombana which in all probability turned turtle.

But this is not entirely accurate as the presence of birds and sharks meant only one thing in association with wreckage from a ship accident,

bodies.

Yes, perhaps these were crew on deck rather than passengers battened down below.

Harsh reality!
