Capture of Escaped Murderer by Cameron in Rough Terrain
Constable Cameron, who joined the Territory police after arriving in Adelaide in 1913, captured the murderer in a difficult gorge assault. He faced a wary camp, crawled through grass to seize the prisoner, enduring hunger and a broken finger, while the struggle drew attention from nearby blacks. In Darwin Gaol the prisoner previously wore a leather belt with brass buckles.

They recount a night attack by Blacks, their horses speared, and a 330 mile desert trek to Meekatharra on foot. Government support backs the venture as Slavin and Alexander prepare six months of travel via Perth to Cus and Sylvania to seek wealth.

Unclear aviation tale linked to Cobham and Elliott
The Evening Standard aviation correspondent recalls Elliott as a skilled mechanician, notes his bond with Cobham, and mentions postwar RAF service. It mentions Elliott’s solitary status, a widowed mother, and a two-woman dynamic around the Polar flight, with Cobham deciding how to proceed. The piece shifts to a separate railways fashion note about silk stockings and muddy splashes.
