Talk:William Bairstow Ingham

Validity of reference
In regards to Joe being a crew member, here is what the reference says

"His crew consisting of William Ailes, an Englishman serving as engineer, Harry Condiotti, a Greek who had been one of the gold prospectors at Laloki, now serving as cook, James Shaw from Sydney, Ingham's secretary and artist, two Chinese deck hands. Ah Sing and Hung Gar, three South Sea Islanders (indentured labourers from Queensland, one being Jack Wieu from Lifu Island) as boat crew, and Joe, a Wari Islander as pilot."

As to the fate of the crew

"MacFarlane knew that Ingham's party would have been eaten; this was confirmed by Joe from Wari Island who hid and escaped: he watched the entire party roasted in stone ovens and eaten. The Australian press took up the horrible tale of cannibalism"
