Ship: From Jerrys Plains
Date: November 1848
Place: North Queensland
Source: The Kennedy Expedition - Glenville Pike
Details: In the gathering dusk, came the spears of death. Kennedy fell forward, a cruel stingray barb in his back! While he lay helpless, two more struck him. Jacky pulled out his old muzzle-loading musket, and fired at the blacks, who made off. Kennedys powder was wet and his musket would not fire. A spear had struck Jacky a glancing blow over the right eye. Edmund Besley Court Kennedy died in the arms of Jacky-Jacky, the faithful blackboy from the Hunter River in New South Wales; For over an hour Jacky mourned over his dead master who had become like a father to him. He then carried the body into a near- by ti-tree scrub and dug a shallow grave with his tomahawk; Then, with Kennedys journals hidden in a hollow log, and with his notebooks in his hand, the faithful blackboy melted into the primeval jungle. On a river now called the Jacky Jacky, he hid the note- books. These were recovered in May 1849 but the journals, like the explorers poor broken body, were never found. Without food or sleep, the exhausted blackboy crept on towards Cape York. Starving and exhausted, he was taken on board the schooner Ariel waiting at Port Albany, on 23rd December 1848....
