She said her name was Ethel Governor, and that she was the wife of James Governor, a half blood aboriginal.
They resided three miles from Breelong, up the creek.

Jimmy then said good-bye to Joe and Jacky Porter, and left the camp, accompanied by Jack Underwood. Jimmy said they were going to Mr. Mawbey's, and would see him.
