transferred to Moore River Settlement School, which was a school for half-caste Aborigine children. With the influx first of white raiders and pirates and then "peaceful" English settlers, there was a multitude of half-English children.

These youngsters were unceremoniously snatched from their families and carted off to these settlements.
