Office buildings at Celebes Trading Company compound, Dobo, Warmar Island, 1908

  One of the largest fleets operating off the north coast of Australia belonged to James Clarke, a Queenslander (Bain 1982:195-196). Clarke began pearling in the 1870s in Torres Strait but soon gained experience working in Indonesia and West Australian waters. He returned to the Aru Islands pearl grounds in about 1906 and operated his fleet with a mother schooner, keeping outside the three-mile limit of terri-torial waters. At Dobo he formed the Celebes Trading Company, which gave him greater indepen-dence. Previously the pearls of this area had been bought from the local Indonesians by Chinese and Arabs who took them to Makassar, whence they were sent on to Singa-pore and then to London, Paris, and Amsterdam. Now the Nether-lands Indian Government was giving concessions to British firms so that shell could be shipped di-rectly to London.

  I believe this is June 27, 1940. see attached Newspaper report from 07 Aug 1940. FAULTY SIGNALS IN SYDNEY TRAIN SMASH ' SYDNEY, Tuesday— Faults in the ignalling apparatus on that section of the line had been reported before and since the accident, said a witness at the inquest on Willam Joseph Stephen Hatch, electric train driver, who was killed in a double train smash near Newtown on June 27. Arthur Leonard O'Brien, station mas ier at Newtown, said that he had re oorted a fault in a signal a fortnight before the accident, and had reported faults since. He was supervising the shunting of the goods train in the Newtown yards at the time of the acci dent, and knew that Hatch's train was due, and should be sided at a signal. Next time he looked back he saw the train coming past the signal. He sip nailed him to stop, and heard his air; brakes applied, but the train did not Slacken. Both trains were derailed, and Hatch's was struck a few seconds later by a second electric train. The Acting City Coroner (Mr. Wells) i adjourned the inquest until Wednesday.
