Pete faced six dingoes on a flat Australian coast and fought for ten minutes with a stout stick. Injured and nearly overwhelmed, he gained the turn when a native shooter arrived, shooting two dogs and sending the rest fleeing. He was aided by Jack Oak’s pub crew and ship’s doctor after being taken to Rockhampton for care.
