- In February Arthur Nlcol of Dalgety and Co. opened negotiations with Charles James, who was then staying at '"Mon Repos" Cottesloe. A droving contract was made, and James arranged to start his plant for Wallal about the middle of April. During March, however, James sent word, that he had developed a physical complaint, and that he would be unable to carry out the work.
Neil McColl, another very experienced and reliable drover, then undertook the job. He made all arrangements to get his plant together, and was to leave for the north not later than April 20. Early in that month on medical advice, he had to relinquish the task.
As the season came round fresh preparations were made to drove the sheep south. In March, 1929, Neil McColl who had apparently recovered from his ailment agreed to carry out the work. He made the necessary preparations and was to start for Wallal about the middle of April. Fate apparently decided that he was not to do this work, as a recurrence of his complaint necessitated his going into hospital in Perth.
Joe Waldeck, was then in the North and he undertook the task of lifting the sheep. He was well on his journey south when the fifth tragic death occurred. Neil McColl died on July 18, 1929. [3]
