(SINGING GROWS LOUDER)

I'm not going to stay here. I can feel it.

They're up to something.

I'm going to go take a look.

NEVILLE:
To Constable Riggs,

Police Station, Nullagine.

At present, we lack the funds

to pursue

the missing half-caste girls,

Molly and Daisy.

I would ask

to be kept informed

of their whereabouts,

so that at some future date,

they may indeed be...recovered.

We face an uphill battle

with these people...

...especially the bush natives,

who have to be protected

against themselves.

If they would only understand

what we are trying to do

for them.

Yours, etc.

Thank you.
