Summary:Expedition to Bathurst Island and Coburg Peninsula. Part of his (Rueben Cooper's) sawmill from different angles. Mr. Cooper has formed an Aboriginal settlement. The settlement is laid out in the form of a square, there are strict rules which the natives must abide. No one is allowed to use spears while in the settlement. Mr. and Mrs. Cooper are both half castes, but looked upon by the blacks as King and Queen. We called the settlement "Cooperville". (DMJ). Jenkins, Duncan.
