Personal Notes:

1881 Wales census - George (born Ireland Cork)and Julia M (Ireland, Dingle) both 37 years old
Living at Mumble, Oystermouth, Glamorgan.
His occupation is Commissioned seaman RN - Blue Coast Guard
Children George R (2years) born Carmarthan Pembrey
Selina L (12years) Ireland
Julia E (4years) Carmarthan Pembrey
Amelia (1year) Carmarthan Pembrey

As remembered by her son William George - Julia Edith was a school teacher in her younger days in Europe. She went to Trinity College at Dublin Uni to study. Her father was a Chief Officer in the Coast Guards. He was transferred to Wicklow and then to Cork. She was teaching in the south of Ireland and then moved to Killaloe. She came out to Australia (probably arriving in Brisbane) only a few weeks before her wedding. She stayed at Armstrongs place at Boldon. Mr. Armstrong came from the same village as her husband in Ireland.
W.G. Hobbs recalls that Julia was born In Llanelly in Wales and attended primary school there. She spoke often of being in Llanelly when the first steam car arrived, accompanied by two men with red flags. (A) took up position at an intersection, stopping all traffic, while (B) sped to the next intersection to do likewise. They leapfrogged each other until the town was crossed. Mum being a little girl was more taken with the horses , both hacks and carriage types, that detached themselves from the hitching rails and sped off down the street. Mum's dad became an officer in the Customs and Excise Dept and took up duty at Wexford in Ireland, obviously checking for contraband freight from across the Irish sea. From there they were transferred to Cobh- Queenstown in Cork harbour. Eventually she attended Trinity colege (protestant) and became a teacher - first in Cork and then in Killaloe.
At the "Anglican Church in Ireland" in Killaloe, Mum played the organ and Dad acted as the steward taking around the plate, putting out the lights, closing up etc. That's how they bumped into each other.

Letter 11th April 1910 fro Laura to Edie - We saw on the paper that there was smallpox on board the OTWAY and she was in quarantine, we nearly went mad.

Adelaide Advertiser 23 March 1910 THE YELLOW FLAG - SMALLPOX ON THE OTWAY.
Perth, March 22.
The mail steamer Otway arrived at Fremantle at 7 this morning flying the yellow flag in consequence of two suspicious cases of sickness. After a consultation between the port medical officer (Dr. Williams) and Dr. Cumpston, of the Central Board of Health, one case was pronounced smallpox. The patient and the passengers for Fremantle were removed to the quarantine station at Woodman's Point. The fumigation operations caused a delay in the delivery of the mails until between 5 and 6 o'clock this evening. The patient, a nine year-old boy immigrant, booked for Sydney, had been ashore in the native quarters at Colombo. (Later paper stated that the boy and his mother had boarded the ship in Colombo bound for New Zealand)
The local cargo was discharged into lighters, and the vessel left at 5 this evening. - -
THE PASSENGERS - WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH THEM?
Melbourne, March 22.
When the Otway reaches Adelaide she will still be in quarantine, even though no other case should occur on board, as the quarantine laws require a period of 21 days to elapse from the time of contact with the patient until the other passengers are landed. The Adelaide passengers, therefore, will have to go into quarantine for 17 days, the Melbourne passengers for 15 days, and Sydney passengers for 13 days. The Quarantine Act, however, provides that if the passengers are vaccinated and their clothing and personal belongings disinfected they may, if the Director of Quarantine thinks fit, be allowed to land provided they are placed under quarantine surveillance. To what extent this discretionary power will be exercised cannot be stated at present, as many developments may occur prior to the arrival of the vessel at the next port of call.

The West Australian 24 March 1910 - 136 people were quarantined at Woodman's Point (Fremantle) and the Otway allowed to go on to Adelaide - patient progressing satisfactorily. (Later newspaper articles - After a week of quarantine another case of smallpox was found in one of the people in quarantine at Woodman's Point)

The Brisbane Courier 28 March 1910
R.M.S. OTWAY. - NO FRESH CASES OF SMALLPOX.
ADELAIDE, March 27.
The Orient liner Otway, on board which a case of smallpox was reported at Fremantle, reached the Semaphore anchorage at midday on Saturday with the yellow flag flying. Fortunately there were no fresh cases to report, but the chief quarantine officer placed the vessel in strict isolation, and during the afternoon 21 passengers booked for Adelaide were sent to Torrens Island, together with sister Hancock, from the Central Board of Health, and several domestic servants engaged by the Orient Company to look after the well-being of those sent there. Four lightermen who assisted the crew of the Otway to transfer the Adelaide cargo will also be sent to the quarantine station.

The Advertiser, Adelaide 28 March 1910 -
The Otway brought a record mail steamer's cargo of 460 tons for Adelaide. This it was arranged should be discharged into lighters. For the purpose three
lighters were taken into the roadstead. Two only were used and two lightermen only were on each, The original intention of the company was to work each lighter with five men, but, as Dr. Smith had intimated that, the men would have to go into quarantine it was decided " to utilise the smaller number and work with the assistance of the steamer's crew. The cargo lighters went alongside the liner during the afternoon, and work was continued until about 5 o'clock on Sunday morning. By this time about 430 tons had been transferred, and Captain Symons decided to carry the balance on to the eastern States. The four lightermen-Messrs. J.Mowatt, W. Sanderson, M. Nelson, and G. Marshall are remaining on the lighters until the cargo is fumigated. They will then go to Torrens Island. No arrangements have yet been made for landing the cargo, which will probably be fumigated to day.
Departure of the Steamer.
At 6 a .m. on Sunday the Otway sailed for Melbourne.

QUARANTINED PASSENGERS - THREE FRESH SMALLPOX CASES - ONE ENDS FATALLY.
MELBOURNE, April 1.
The outbreak of smallpox among the passengers of the R.M.S. Otway has assumed more serious proportions.
Thomas Caleb Walker, one of the patients who was yesterday declared to be a "suspect," developed hemorrhagic smallpox, and died late last night. The stewardess, Mrs. Norricks, has developed modified smallpox, and a fresh case, that of a boy two years old, was reported this morning.
The patient, Mrs. Singer, has had a serious relapse, and the boy, Ralph Cameron, another smallpox patient, is declared to be seriously ill. Both he and Mrs. Singer have confluent smallpox-a serious form of the disease. The other boy, George Cameron, is suffering from modified smallpox.

Altogether there are six Victorian cases. They are as follow:-Thomas Caleb Walker, passenger for Victoria, (dead); Ralph Cameron, passenger for Brisbane (confluent smallpox-serious) ; Mrs. Singer, passenger to Sydney (con- fluent smallpox-serious relapse) ; George Cameron, passenger to Brisbane (modified smallpox) ; Norman Wilcox aged two years (smallpox); Mrs. Norricks, stewardess (modified smallpox).

Immediately upon receipt of a telegram conveying the news of Walker's death, the Chief Quarantine Officer for Victoria, Dr. Ham, gave instructions for the cremation of the body. The consent of the relatives was obtained, and arrangements were made for cremating the body this afternoon. Dr. Ham stated that he understood that all the patients were third-class passengers, and that most of them, when asked to allow themselves to be vacinated at Fremantle, had refused. It was only recently that they had been vaccinated. In all the cases that had been vaccinated the smallpox was of a mild form.

The victim of the fatal case. Thomas Walker, left England with the intention of settling in Victoria. He was travelling with his family, the members of which are in quarantine. The deceased was a third-class passenger. The parents of the child Norman Wilcox, are third-class passengers. According to the quarantine authorities, the child had not been vaccinated.

THE OTWAY ARRIVES AT SYDNEY.
MORE ILLNESS ON BOARD.
SYDNEY, April 1.
The R.M.S. Otway arrived from Melbourne shortly after seven this morning, and cast anchor in quarantine. The assistant medical officer and two other doctors were in waiting. They boarded the steamer, and were informed that two cases of illness had occurred on the voyage from Melbourne, the victims being a second-class passenger and one of the engineers. It was thought that the second-class passenger had smallpox, and the engineer was possibly suffering from it. These suspects were at once sent ashore and isolated.

The medical officers were engaged all day in examining the passengers and crew, 99 in all. The work will be continued to-morrow and Sunday. It is intended to make vaccination good in every case. The first-class passengers were landed at the quarantine station during the afternoon. In view of the fresh cases of illness, Dr. Ashburton Thompson was not prepared to say how long there would have to be detention, but he said there was very little chance of persons being let out forthwith under surveillance.
The Otway has started coaling, but her future movements have, not yet been decided.

SMH 5 April 1910 - Vaccination has been submitted to, not only as a safe guard, but as the only alternative to a full detention in quarantine - a total of 824 passengers and crew. Not known if vessel would continue its journey to Brisbane in quarantine.

PRESENTATION AT BORRISOKANE
A few days ago the parents and friends of the children attending the Parochial National School, Borrisokane, met at the school house for the purpose of presenting the teacher (Miss Allport) with an address and testimonial on the occasion of her leaving the parish. The address was read by Mr GF Kent, who spoke in eulogistic terms of Miss Allports many good qualities and her great popularity with the pupils attending the schools. – Mr Shea and Mr McBride also spoke, heartily endorsing Mr Kent’s words and referred to Miss Allport’s amiability and the estimation in which she was held by those in the circle of her acquaintance. The following is a copy of the address and reply: -

“Dear Miss Allport, - We, the parishioners and parents of the children attending Borrisokane Parochial National school, have heard with much regret that you have sent in your resignation as teacher of the school. During the years you have been amongst us we have learned to appreciate the good work you did in teaching and guiding our children. We have always felt that in you they had not only a teacher but also a friend one whom they looked up to, one who brought into the performance of her duty gentleness and refinement which we are sure will always be an influence for good on the lives of our children. We trust you will be happy in your new sphere of work; and that every blessing of wealth and happiness may ever be yours is the earnest wish of the many friends you have made amongst us. We beg that you will accept the accompanying purse of sovereigns as a token of our esteem – We remain, dear Miss Allport, your sincere friends. (signed on behalf of the subscribers) Richard H Falkiner DL Geo M Shea, David McBride, Geo F Kent”
(Miss Allport’s reply)

“My dear friends, - You kind address has quite taken me by surprise, and I am much gratified by the expression of your appreciation of my efforts to do my duty as a teacher. Words fail me to express my heartfelt thanks for all the kindness shown to me during my residence in Borrisokane. I assure you that your address will be amongst my most treasured possessions and the intrinsic value of your gift is greatly enhance when I know it is prompted by kind hearts. – I am ever your grateful friend, Edith Allport.”
