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

Where there are three men such as these, of proved courage, it may seem to be invidious to single out one of them for special commendation. But it is due to C H Nicolson to say that he was in a very critical state of health before and during this expedition, and had, in fact, two bad seizures during the forty-mile tramp after leaving Kilfera that would have turned back most men. They left him, however, as determined as ever to go forward. It was gratifying to me to be told by him, several years after, that he had had no return of illness, and that the excitement of his tramp after Power seemed to have acted as a cure. The man Lloyd received the whole of the reward, the police not taking a penny of it. People such as Lloyd do not keep their secrets well, and it soon became known that he had given Power over to the police. Within a few years he was killed by falling from his horse while drunk. There have been dark hints that a friend of Power, while galloping alongside of Lloyd, pushed him out of the saddle, but no sufficient evidence of this has ever been brought out.
