== Recollections of a Victorian Police Officer by Sup John Sadleir ==

The three officers proceeded together to Mr McBean’s house at Kilfera, where it had been arranged that Jack Lloyd should meet them. It was well that Nicolson had joined the party, for Hare was soon at loggerheads with Lloyd and said that he would not undertake the search with such a 'Pentridge bird'; but Nicolson intervened and soon smoothed matters over. He would, I believe, have gone alone rather than miss such a chance. It was a rough journey they had before them, the weather was bad and all the creeks were full. The party had made no proper provision for food by the way, and they were reduced at last to digging up potatoes with their hands, without the owner’s permission, for it was part of their plan to keep as far away from all habitations as possible.
