Notes 1 Note from editor: "The above verses were composed by the late Murdoch MacDonald, of Gannon Road, North Sydney, formerly of Big Intervale, - Cape North. It is thought they were composed ere he left Big lntervale, although it was shortly before his demise that he sent them to his brother Archibald, whom he left behind. Mr. MacDonald was suffering very much from chronic bronchitis which caused his death a few years later."
