"He was a sandalwood carter, who worked in the Kojonup and Williams districts and also the districts further east. On the morning of his death the convoy of sandalwood carters harnessed up their horses as usual and as each team was ready it moved out. For some unknown reason no-one noticed that HART had not pulled out from the camp, and his absence was not discovered until later. A few teamsters returned and ...........they found Paddy dead beside his half-harnessed team."
