Summary

Pier Hotel, Glenelg. In the foreground you can see Mr William Jewell who, despite losing his legs in a rail accident in India, was an excellent horseman and swimmer. He also was an excitable character who, in 1897, used his walking stick to crack Premier Charles Cameron Kingston across the head when the two met in King William Street. The Chronicle reported on 25 Dec 1897 that Mr Jewell "...has always been remarkable for a hot temper and volubility in speech." It went on to report that when he was sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment with hard labor he stated "Oh, I can work hard, and if I don't earn my tucker I won't eat it.".
