 After 8. time he went. to the gold l mines in the shilly belt region along the Pacific coast. When he had amassed fortune he and friend established successful business in Sydney.
 Seven years after coming to Aus tralia he contracted typhoid fever and his brain was so affected he had to undergo al operation which was so successful that he could recall his name and past life.
