Summary

The graveyard on Cape Borda showing the memorial inscriptions. Four men, including A. Searcy, stand respectfully by the graves. The following information is from a researcher: Cape Borda was the scene of the shipwreck in 1899 of the 'Loch Sloy' which was reported in the newspapers (http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article73222358). Another article published soon after featured drawings of two of the lighthouse keepers (http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article54578121). Based on the drawing, the man third from the left bears a strong resemblance to Walter Thomas Smith (1851-1930).
