Siblings of Mary Ann PORTER Williams who also came to Patagonia:
(1) Thomas PORTER (1890-?) a.k.a. "Alexander" or "Alack"; in Patagonia during WW-I.
(2) Charles PORTER (1892-1954) Farm worker (peon); eventually returned to Falklands; died in boating accident.
(3) George PORTER (1893-1909) Drowned off Dawson Island, Strait of Magellan.
We regret to record the death of George Porter who was drowned
off Dawson Island on
January 11th. Captain Johansen of the "Ciudad de Amberes" reported
that he left with his ship for Dawson Island to take on a cargo of wool. When
San Valentín was reached the captain ordered the two sailors George Porter and
Charles Gunson and the five lightermen to take a small boat and row it to the
empty lighter, he himself getting into the boat. All went well until the lighter
was reached and the captain sprang upon it. The men then all stood up in the
boat to climb up, and to the consternation of the captain who was watching,
the boat turned over and the men were all in the water. The captain at once
shouted to the "Amberes"
but unluckily the engineer and fireman were down below, and the cook was in the
galley, and none heard a sound. Of the seven men, six were drowned before the
shouts of the captain brought the engineer on deck. He was able to save one
man clinging to the side of the lighter. A search for the bodies was made without
success.
