He called himself either Peter or Jacky Jacky--I cannot remember which; but in any case it was a name given him by pearlers.

He had once lived with some pearlers near the north- west coast of Western Australia--probably on the De Grey River.

His story was quite unprecedented among the blacks, and he gave me many terrible instances of the perfidy shown by white adventurers towards the unfortunate natives.

The precise locality where I met this man was probably near Mount Farewell, close to the border-line of South Australia and Western Australia.

Well, then, Jacky Jacky--to give him the name which lingers most tenaciously in my mind--was persuaded to join in a pearling expedition, together with a number of his companions.
