| Narrative | After the Annandale station massacre of 5 March 1879, Sub-inspector Kaye and three native police troopers, patrolled the Herbert River to Glengyle station and 'dispersed a large camp of niggers as punishment for the alleged killing of a stockman on the station, named Scott about a month previously.' (Queenslander, 1879, p 668) The survivors fled over the border to South Australia. |
