![]() ![]() They were still pretty drunk, so we felt sure they wouldn’t find them.Ībout half an hour later Bill’s brother George came and told us that Bob wanted Bill up at the house. A little while later Bob and three others commenced looking for the missing bottles. We put these on top of the pig shed roof. We got the bottles off the stable roof (it was getting dark), and put them into two bags. Bill suggested that we take the grog that we had planted and put it somewhere else. Bill had heard Bob say that last Christmas he had found some bottles planted in the stable and he would search it this time from end to end. The grog had run out and Bob was blaming everyone for getting away with it, or stealing it, even the old lady. Bill came to meet me and said that there was a big row on at the house. When I got back with the cows it was nearly sundown. The following event occurred after his second Christmas there, by then he was ten years old. Albert Facey, at eight years of age, left his family to work and live with another family, primarily tending the livestock. ![]()
