Mum's Uncle Athol, my grandfather Darcy Blair's brother recalls that Andrew Blair travelled to India at some point, perhaps as part of his seafaring lifestyle, and lost his hair after coming down with Yellow Fever.
Athol's brother Haddin was given a rhinocerus hide walking stick from his Uncle Andrew after one of his journeys. This is now in Haddin's son Ian's possession, though he describes the 'stick' as being quite flexible...perhaps a whip?
I would like to learn more about Andrew Blair, as it seems he lived a very interesting life, and travelled widely.
