MORUYA Heads presented a fine sight during last week-end. Heavy seas breaking on the rocky point sent up mountains of spray and every gap and inlet was churned to a creamy froth. A large area of rock and beach was a mass of this spumy substance, which gave the appearance of a light snow. We are informed by Pilot Rose that the seas were the heaviest for the past ten years. On Sunday a number of residents journeyed to the spot to enjoy the spectacle.
OUR Nelligen correspondent writes: - On the 27th ultimo at “Mt. Pleasant,” Nelligen there passed away Margaret McCauley, relict of the late James McCauley. The deceased was 84 years of age, and was the eldest daughter of the late Mr. Edmund Heffernan, of Moggendoura, Moruya. Mrs. McCauley was a native of Tipperary (Ireland) and came to N.S. Wales in “the fifties” with her parents who settled in Moruya. …
The funeral at Nelligen was largely attended, but owing to heavy floods in the district many friends were unavoidably prevented from paying their last respects. A family of seven sons are left to mourn, viz., Messrs. Bernard, J.P., “Mt. Pleasant,” Nelligen; Edward, “Mulwhy,” Clyde River; James, “Moville,” Nelligen; Patrick, “Mt. Pleasant,” Nelligen; Joseph F.,B.A., North Sydney; Roger, Brisbane, and Vincent, “Heatherbrae,” Clyde River. The deceased lady was highly respected in the district, and will be missed by many.
