Note 1: Reg No V18372948 21 OR V1837254 448 drowned The Mercury 26 Feb 1935 Article - Sharks as Man-Eaters In 1837 a boy of 12, Alfred Australia Howe was taken by a shark in the Macleay River, N.S.W. Richmond River Herald ..13 Dec 1940 Items of Interest According to a Sydney authority the first direct shark attack to he traced in N.S. Wales was that on a boy of 12, Alfred Australia Howe, who was taken in the Macleay River on January 17, 1837. Howe was the son of a Govern ment printer in Sydney, and, a few years before, he had been rescued from a capsize in Sydney Harbor in which his father lost his life. Sydney Gazette and NSW Advertiser 31 Jan 1837 DEATH. At the McLeay River, on Wednesday evening, the 17th January, Master Alfred Australia Howe, aged 12 years, second son of the late Robert Howe, Esq., of Sydney. This unfortunate youth whilst washing his feet in shallow water, on the banks of the stream, in charge of a man servant, was suddenly seized by a large shark, near fifty miles from the harbour, and dragged into the current. The man rushed in and grasping the boy at the hazard of his own life, pulled him out of the monster's month and swam to land, just as the fish pursued them furiously to the shore. The effusion of blood was instantly stopped, but symptoms of mortification exhibiting themselves, the Surgeon in attendance peremptorily ordered a removal to Port Macquarie, for amputation of the limb, but death terminated his sufferings by locked jaw, in a litter on the road. Eight years ago this unfortunate boy was miraculously saved from a watery grave, at the time his equally unfortunate father was drowned by the upsetting of a boat off Pinchgut. The good qualities and high promise of the youth are justly appreciated by all who knew him ; and time itself can never efface from his unhappy relatives, the dreadful catastrophe which has deprived a mother of her fondest hope, and two sisters of their dearest brother. He will be removed to Sydney for interment in the vault of his family, so that the bodies of the father and son may mingle in dust together.

Note 2: Sydney Morning Herald 18 Nov 1842 DEATH.

Salmon, Butcher, of George-street, and widow of the late Robert Howe, Esq., proprietor of the Sydney Gazette, aged 40 years.
