Pistols.
In his "Our Strange
Past" story in The Mail (13/9/52) George Blaikle
said John Hawdon (who was my great-uncle) lived at Heidelberg.
This
is incorrect; John Hawdon lived on his station in NSW. It was John's brother,
Joseph Hawdon, the explorer, who lived at Heidelberg, and from whom the duelling pistols were borrowed.

Correcting Text
The
text displayed alongside the article image has been created through a process
called Optical Character Recognition (OCR). This is when a computer software
program converts words in an image file into text. The software OCR eye is
less accurate than a human eye and reads character by character, so words
that appear clear in the page image to a reader may sometimes be converted
incorrectly and appear as odd sets of characters. Any user is able to correct
these characters and words so they match what is in the image.
You
may correct the OCR text of any line of this article by double-clicking the OCR'ed text
needing correction.
The
page image window will be positioned to show the line of text you are editing
at the top left, with the first word of the line highlighted in green.
Press
F12 to rapidly move to and highlight the next word in the text - this can
make correction much faster!
To
move to the next line of OCR'ed text, just press Enter.
To
discard your corrections to a
line, press the discard button at the start of each line of edited text.
When
you are finished, press the "Save OCR changes" button which appears
once you start correcting, or just navigate away from the page without saving
to discard all changes.
It is very important that you correct the text line by line,
that is, that the original line boundaries are preserved. The system needs to
be able to correlate your corrections with the originally OCR'ed words, so
that phrase searching and text highlighting will continue to work on your
corrected text. Hence, make you corrections line by line, matching the lines
of text in the page image.
