MISCELLANEOUS
THE VESTA - The brig Vesta, from Hamburg, with cargo and passengers, arrived yesterday after a passage of 110 days. A fatal accident occurred on board to a child, when off the Cape of good Hope, in consequence of some passengers removing the covering of the hatch during a gale, which falling between decks unfortunately came in contact with a child, who died from the injuries it sustained. The Vesta is a very fine brig, and quite new.
A NEW LIFE IN AUSTRALIA
HILSENITZ, Friedrich. born 1823 Mittwalde, Brandenburg, Prussia. Settled in Flaxman Valley with wife and son, where he farmed for the rest of his life. A keen supporter of the Eden Valley Lutheran Church. Died 1896. Wife, Dorothea, nee Kroschel. Son August became a Flaxman Valley District Councillor.
RATTEI, Erdman (1824 - 1893) & Gottfried (1813 - 1901). Born Nekla, Prosen, Prussia. Farmed at Hoffnumgsthal and then South Rhine. Off Russian descent, they lived in a very unsettled portion of Europe and fled with their remaining two brothers to S.A. after a fifth had died from a sniper's bullet in a Polish uprising against their Prussian rulers. A niece, Caroline (later Mrs. Friedrich Herbig) came with them. Erdmann farmed at Black Springs; Gottfried at Flaxman Valley. Erdmann Rattei bought many blocks in Springton during the 1860s - 1870s.

The measurements are given in Hamburg feet - 1 Hamburg foot = 286 mm whereas 1 English foot is 305 mm. 12 inches(") - 1 foot(').
