  • 8 Jun 1889: WRECK OF THE S.S. FIJIAN ON THE ISLAND OF TANNA. Surrounded by Cannibals. — Fortunate Rescue.
    Particulars of the wreck of the s.s. Fijian, and the thrilling experiences of the crew and passengers, on the coast of Tanna, among armed cannibals have arrived. She was a steel steamer of 988 tons gross register, and 633 tons nett, and was recently purchased by the Union Steamship Company for the island trade. She was on the voyage from Melbourne, via Newcastle to the New Hebrides, when she struck upon the reef that encircles part of the coast of the Island of Tanna, about a quarter of a mile from the shore. The island is noted for the savagery of the natives.
    Two missionaries are upon it, but not near where the shipwreoked had to land. The natives are notorious cannibals, and have committed more murders of whites than any natives in the South Seas. The vessel struck on May 13th, at about 4 a.m. All the passengers and crew were landed on the beach in boats. The crew numbered 35, and had only two firearms; and the passengers were Hon. James Buchanan, M.L.A., of Victoria, Miss Buchanan, Mr. Stooks, of Melbourne, and Mrs. Groom and Master Chapman of Suva. The cargo consisted of two cases watchmakers' material, hardware, window glass, groceries and provisions, drugs, drapery, ale and stout, cakes and biscuits, confectionery, jam, soap, rice, sewing machines, flour, coffee, kerosene, a package of opium, a quarter of a cask of spirits of wine, gin, general merchandise, &c. Captain Fielding was in command.
    As the natives armed with Snider and breechloading rifles of the latest pattern, began to crowd threateningly round, the passengers and crew were taken again on board the sinking ship. The passengers and crew, the captain states, behaved with great calmness and willingness throughout, "with out a murmur." At 9 a.m., having got breakfast a boat was sent to the misssion station of Rev. Mr. Watt, about 12 miles distant, with a note explaining the position. They then began to land stores and necessaries for a camp, and some natives came aboard, and a few could speak a little English and assisted to land the stores. The captain ordered the heads to be knocked out of all casks containing spirits, so as to prevent the natives getting any. A tent was erected on shore for the ladies, one for the officers and male passengers, and a third for the crew. They had a good stock of provisions. Fully 300 natives surrounded the camp, and of these 100 had rifles and ammunition, others had knives 2ft. long, and others spears, tomahawks, &c. The only firearms the shipwrecked had were a Winchester repeating rifle and a revolver, both belonging to the captain. There were a number of natives also on board, so it was resolved to concentrate all the whites on shore, round their provisions. The vessel was therefore deserted and the boats hauled up by the camp. The tide had by this time risen 2½ft. above the deck of the vessel. Before dusk the captain gave some tobacco and other things to two of the chiefs, and asked them, through an interpreter, to take away their people from the camp. They did this, but left a few, they said to protect the shipwrecked people. During the night, watches were set, but they were not disturbed.
    With the dawn of May 14th, the natives swarmed down in greatly increased numbers, swam off to the vessel and began to plunder wholesale. The captain reports that the natives were seen passing up small red cases which, it was feared, contained gin, as there was some in the cargo ; but on going off in a boat found they were cases of red herrings, but the gin was in the hatchway which the natives broached. At noon the Rev. Mr. Watt, Presbyterian Missionary, came up in the mission boat, with an armed crew. He said it was a most savage part of the coast. He had never been there before, had no control over the natives and could not guarantee safety for five minutes ; even the men about the mission station would not move by land or canoe without rifles. He said he had not accommodation for all but recommended that the passengers and stewardess should return with him, and the captain, as his health had not been good, and he was in a weak state. He said he expected a small vessel, with explorers to call at his station next day, and the rest of the crew could then be got away. Captain Fielding decided to do this, leaving the chief officer, Mr. Duder in charge. As they were about to leave, a small vessel was seen on the horizon, and the captain directed the crew to chase her, the weather being calm. The captain and passengers, with the stewardess, then returned with Rev. Mr. Watt, and it took nine hours to get to the mission station. Meanwhile the boat sent to chase the sail on the horizon, happily came up with her. She proved to be the schooner Eliza Mary, of Brisbane, with returned laborers for the New Hebrides. The captain promised to beat up to shore and take the castaways on board, and the boat returned to the camp. There was not wind enough and the vessel could not beat. Consequently the crew had to spend another night, in the midst of swarms of threatening natives. Presents were given to the chiefs, and the natives simply took what they fancied. At midday on Wednesday, 15th May, two boats in charge of the Government Agent, Mr. McMurdo, Government Labor Agent, arrived from the schooner with news that the captain expected to be close in that night and they must be ready to go off to her. Meanwhile on Wednesday morning, 15th inst.. a boat had gone to the mission station, to Captain Fielding, and reported the arrival of the schooner, arriving at 2 p.m. Rev. Mr. Watt had not been able to get his men to take a boat to the camp, as they feared the other natives too much. At 3.30 p.m. a boat left the Mission Station for the camp.
    Three boats' crews set out from the camp on Wednesday afternoon to meet the schooner, but as the sea began to rise one had to return. At 8 p.m. a light was seen approaching, and by means of a rocket sent up from the schooner and another from the beach, the attention of the steamer Tenterden, Captain Calder, was attracted, and she bore down, and with some danger and difficulty, in the rising sea the shipwrecked crew were got on board that night. She then went round to the Mission Station and took off the captain, the passengers and the stewardess. The passengers and crew were then safe after their perilous experience, and as the s.s. Tenterden passed the scene of the wreck, on her way to Savannah Harbor; after leaving the Mission Station, the tents and stores landed at the camp had disappeared, and the natives swarming on the beach and were waving shawls and drapery. The wrecked vessel was quite upright, with the tide washing over her decks, in smooth water.
    During all the time the castaways were on shore the natives kept on vigorously plundering the wreck ; as many as many as 200 being at work at a time, and they were on board from sunrise to sunset. The bush tribes came down and swam off to the vessel on the night of Monday, 13th May, and kept hard at work plundering, until the early morning when other tribes from the coast put in an appearance the moment the bushmen were out of sight with their spoil. When the last boats left for the Tenterden there were between three and four hundred savages on the beach, fully half being well armed with Sniders and breechloading rifles. At one time a cask of rectified spirit was being rolled along by the natives, and Captain Fielding, who had wisely destroyed all the intoxicants he could, sent the crew to destroy it. After a risky encounter they broke the head of the cask and allowed the contents to run out on the beach, amid the threatening yells of the angry natives. Later on a native coolly ran off with a sheath knife which he took from a sailor's belt, and when the owner gave chase, turned and threatened him with the rifle he carried. The native kept the knife. These little incidents help to show what extreme peril the castaways were in. If the natives had got intoxicants there can be little doubt that a frightful massacre of the whole party would have taken place. When the s.s. Tenterden arrived in Sydney on the 2nd inst., having come via Fiji, which she reached on 22nd May, Captain Fielding, for the passengers, presented Captain Calder with a testimonial, conveying to him the gratitude of the rescued party.
    The s.s. Fijian was valued at £22,000, and was insured for £10,000. There is no prospect of saving her or any of her cargo. James Buchanan17
  • 10 Aug 1889: SAMOAN SKETCHES. TO APIA. FROM "THE VAGABOND." APIA, 23RD JULY.
    It is not difficult to get from Melbourne to Samoa. I had thought of taking the Union Steamship Company's boat, the Fijian, to Suva, and thence transferring to another vessel of this line runting to Tonga and Apia, returning to Auckland, and, via Dunedin and the Bluff, to Melbourne. This is a round trip which Victorians can make in the winter season with pleasure and profit to themselves. They can see the most charming islands in the South Seas in the cheapest possible manner, and each passenger will have the great advantage of freedom of action. In the excursions to the islands previously run by the Union Company the passengers were at the mercy of a clique of pious and obnoxious individuals, who controlled the social life of the ship. In excursions attempted to be promoted by other parties this would also apply, as well as there being a drawback in having to submit to rules and regulations opposed to tho general tenor of Australian life. But by making a round trip in the Union Company's boats one would have a change of passengers at each port, and if specially enchanted with Fiji or Tonga or Samoa could lay over for a month until the next steamer. The Union Company have quoted a low rate for this round trip, and it is one which in my opinion is in every way to be preferred to the excursions which they ran some years ago. But the wreck of the Fijian and the delay in getting another steamer on the line upset my place of departure. It was unlucky for the company, for Captain Fielding and the passengers that I was just on board the Fijian on her last voyage. I have sailed all round the coast of Tanna in the smallest of crafts. The volcano of Yasur is always a warning beacon, either a pillar of fire or of smoke, and I think I could pilot a ship safely in these waters. Also, if we had struck, Mr. Buchanan and his companions need have been under no alarm. The natives there know me pretty well. They are cannibals and bloodthirsty, but they dare not attack a party of white men as numerous as the shipwrecked passengers and crew of the Fijian. Six years ago I was with only one white companion all round the coast of Tanna, camping on shore and mixing with the natives. They paid respect to my revolver and my character as a "big fellow captain." I think I am still remembered in Tanna.
    But with the loss of the Fijian this route to Samoa was temporarily closed. James Buchanan18
  • 19 May 1954: Berwick Mourns Mrs. L. D. Beaumont—A Wonderful Citizen Who Came From Pioneering Stock.
    LAST FRIDAY, with the death of Mrs Beaumont, wife of ex-Cr. L. D. Beaumont, a past president of the Berwick Shire, Berwick lost one of its oldest locally born residents, and a grand lady who played a leading part in the community throughout an active life.
    A younger daughter of the late Hon James Buchanan M.L.C., and Mrs. Buchanan (nee Wilson), her parents were two of the districts earliest pioneers, of the years 1849 and 1837 respectively. Her father represented the South-Eastern Province in the Legislative Council for a period of 27 years. He was a founder of the Berwick and District Agricultural Society and initially made available his grounds, which the society still occupy. At his death he left his home “Burr Hill” as a Manse to the Presbyterian Church. The home was later sold and the proceeds devoted to the building of the new Manse in the church grounds, Mrs. Beaumont being given the honor of performing the opening ceremony. During his Parliamentary career the late Hon James Buchanan, in the year 1889, took his daughter for a tour of the South Sea Islands on the Union Steam Ships Co’s vessel, "S.S. Fijian.” It was there that the then Miss Ellie Buchanan met her future husband, Mr. L. D. Beaumont, he being the Purser, on the ship. On this voyage the “Fijian” became a total wreck on the Island of Tanna, in the New Hebrides Groups, an island peopled by a very cannibalistic tribe of natives. Both passengers and crew spent a most perilous time on the Island before being rescued by a passing ship and returned to Sydney.
    During a life-time of 84 years associated with Berwick Mrs. Beaumont was a foremost figure in matters pertaining to the welfare of the district. A strong supporter of her Church for many years, both before and after her marriage she occupied the position of Organist in St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Berwick. A constant exhibitor at both Agricultural and Horticultural district shows she took many awards, but in later years as a Rosarian she was particularly interested in rose culture.
    A great lover of horses, Mrs. Beaumont, even up to her 80th year, was a familiar figure about the district on her horse, “Garry.” A foundation and long service member of the Berwick Red Cross, she served her age and generation well. She leaves her husband, Mr. L. D. Beaumont, daughter Mrs. S. A. Greaves, son Mr. Norman E. Beaumont J.P. and two grandchildren, Louise and Sonia Beaumont, to survive her.
    The largely attended funeral was very representative of the district. The Rev Scott Tanner of Berwick and Rev. J. Scott of Drouin conducted the funeral service. The Pall Bearers were Cr. C. Greaves, Mr. Evan Henry, Mr. Hugh Bourke, Mr. George Wilson, Cr. Arthur Robinson, Mr. J. M. Bell, Mr. J. S. Loveridge Mr. John Lloyd.
    Garnar and Son Pty Ltd were the Funeral Directors.19
