HISTORY

1939 J. W. Ferguson, of the Fremantle Rifle Club, was the outstanding rifleman. Besides securing the splendid tally of 69 out of the possible 70 points over the 700 yards range, he continued on to reach 103 out of the possible 105 points and won a club tankard. (reference)

1947 A 12ft. dinghy which was washed away from the beach at Rottnest Island on January 14 has been discovered at Jurien Bay, about 40 miles further north. The dinghy is the property of Mr. J. W. Ferguson, of View-terrace, East Fremantle, and was washed away by a large wave when the owner was attending to some fishing lines on the beach. (reference)
