Details: Captain R. L. Pattison. LAST week a venerable pioneer of Australian coasting navigation, and a hero of humane daring, died at Newcastle. Robert Lorn Pattison was born on the 27th March, 1807, in the town of Prestonpans, famous for the victory of the Highlanders under Prince Charley over the English army. This town is about eleven miles from the city of Edinburgh His father was an attorney of considerable reputation. Robert, who was from the first of a strong constitution and high spirit, early shewed a liking for the sea, and entered the merchant service of his country. In the year 1837 he came to Sydney as boatswain of the ship Strathalyn, with Captain Griffin. He then traded in these waters; and found his way into the trade, which was but then commencing; between this port and Newcastle About the year 1840 a company was formed for the purpose of carrying on steam communication between the Hunter River and Sydney. This company was called the Hunter River Steam Navigation Company. Their first steamer, the Rose, was placed in charge of Mr. Pattison, who had in the meantime steadily advanced in his profession. The Rose was followed by two other steamers of the same company, the Thistle, and the Shamrock. On October 15, 1844, Captain Pattison, the commander of the Rose, was caught in a terrific gale from the S.S.W., which veered round to the S.E. For nearly two days he was buffeting the storm at sea, and was given up for lost. Being unprovided for any such detention at sea, he had to burn all the available wood-work of the ship for firewood. At last to the wonder and joy of his friends here turned in safety to Newcastle. He continued in this trade till 1849, when he married his first wife, Miss Jane Hill, at Sydney, and shortly afterwards sailed for San Francisco. There he remained in business as an innkeeper for nine months, but having been bereaved of his wife, he sold out, took the command of a small topsail schooner called the Tom Tough, and returned to Sydney making the wonderful passage of twenty-nine and a half days. The gold discovery was at that time attracting thousands from all other pursuits to mining; and Captain Pattison was one of the many who struck oil on the famed Bendigo. In 1853 he married his second wife, Miss Jane Bailey, and came to Newcastle again, There he opened the Caledonian Hotel. But his yearning for the sea prevented his settling on the dull tame shore ; and in nine months he sold out, and took command of Mr. Edye Manning s steamer the Iron Prince, engaged in the Newcastle coal trade. From the Iron Prince he soon changed to the lately arrived steamer Ben Bolt, placed in the Hunter River trade in opposition to the existing company; but this venture was a failure. The Ben Bolt was seized for debt, and Captain Pattison was a heavy loser. He lived in Sydney for a little while, and subsequently removed to Morpeth. And whilst he was at this place the Hunter River New Steam Navigation Company came into existence, and Captain Pattison was selected by the directors to take the charge of their pioneer steamer, the Paterson. He continued in charge of that vessel between Sydney and the Hunter River for three years, and then went into the steamer Dooribang, which - had just been brought out by Mr. Portus, and was employed in attending on the Government dredge at the port of Newcastle, This was Captain Pattison s last command. He left the Dooribang, after three months service. He then lived for some time in Sydney ; then in Maitland; and thence he removed to Newcastle, where he resided for the remainder of his life. He was for seven years custodian of the Newcastle Court-house, and after that clerk of the Newcastle markets. Whilst in the last-named capacity he, on the 16th June, 1875, met with a serious accident, in consequence of being knocked down by the engine of the A. A. Company, at the Darby-street crossing. He remained infirm in consequence of that accident to the day of his death. He died at the age of 70 years, on 10th of October. He left a widow and two grown-up sons.
