Excavation of site for Green Cape Lighthouse begins.
Mr. Charles Kebby, for thirteen years post and telegraph master at Eden, and a highly respected resident, died on Thursday evening and was buried on Sunday. Nearly the whole population of Eden and the surrounding district assembled at et the funeral. The deceased was recently ordered to visit Gabo to repair the line connecting the island with the mainland, and while there he was put to great straits, and suffered considerable hardship…it is thought that in consequence of this he caught a cold from exposure, and erysipelas set in, which proved fatal.
