Biography
Philip came to Western Australia as a prisoner on the Pyrenees, arriving on 28 June 1851.[1]
We regret to hear of a fatal accident to a man named Salmon, in the employ of Mr C. Evans, who was drowned while crossing the Chapman with a cart and two horses, one of the latter being also drowned.[2]
