We are not sure of Alfred's origins. Clarke puts a fair amount of trust in him and he was working for Clarke for wages. (See also references to him in February 1865). Possibly he was a fellow passenger on the Queen of Beauty. If so, then there are three possible names, Alfred Curtis, Alfred Nicholson and Alfred Carter. All of them were in Steerage. He left Little Omaha in September 1865 for the Hokitika Gold Fields.
