Family information:
BAY family
According to Charles and Ann’s son Otto’s military records, Charles [or Karl] was a Sergeant in the Armed constabulary forces during the Maori war and was probably naturalised on enlistment.[10] Otto, a bootmaker in civilian life was a 2nd Lieutenant, was awarded the General service medal along with the Victory medal in WW1. He attended the ‘special course’ for Gas at Sandown, Isle of Wight and passed with 1st class honours. He served in the 1st, 3rd and 4th Otago Infantry Battalion. He had gastroenteritis in March 1916 in Ismailia. 28 Oct 1916 he was wounded in action in the field in France – severe gunshot wound to left buttock and was gassed and also wounded by gas shell in October 1918. He suffered tonsillitis in January 1919. Otto married Frances H WELLS and had son William Otto, born 3 Oct 1916, East Takaka.
Otto also served in WW2
muse.aucklandmuseum.com/databases/Cenotaph/20671.detail?k...
He died of sickness at Nelson, New Zealand 9 April 1942
Another son, Charles Bertram born in Kawhia 30 August 1890 also served in WW1 with the 3rd Auckland Regiment. He was an ironmonger for J Burns & Co., Auckland in civilian life. He served in Samoa and Egypt. He was discharged from service with pleurisy with disability.
In 1916 he wrote to his father:
“I have had two miraculous escapes, besides the average ones that one has to get through at any time. The first was a couple of days after the advance, when we were holding a ridge we had taken. It was raining steadily, and we were in a new trench, up to our knees in mud, and a miserably cold day. I was sitting in a hole I had made in the bank on one side of the trench, and the whole of the opposite side fell in on me. There were several contributory causes to my escape. First of all I had on my steel helmet, and that gave me room to breathe. Next I had had an oilsheet across the top to keep the rain off. That got between, my face and the earth that fell, and prevented the loose earth from getting into my nostrils and all round my face to choke me. Then there were some men who saw it happen and dug for me at once, and after a bit they got my head clear, and could take their time, so I came through with just a shaking. The other time was a couple of days ago, when a shell came clean into the trench where I was talking to three other men and exploded within two yards of where I was standing, and was the nearest one to it. Marvellous to say, not one of us was touched, though a rifle was smashed to pieces, a greatcoat was torn to ribbons, a shovel had the handle ruined, and the trench was filled with debris. It is incredible, and when one knows what other shells have done that have landed in the trench it passes comprehension. McCollum, from the Thames Valley, was killed, and others wounded by the same sort of occurrence, and I could give other instances."[11]
Charles died of sickness at Auckland 17 Feb 1955
1888, August Bay was gazetted public vaccinator in the Raglan district [12]
Taranaki Herald, Volume XXXI, Issue 4400, 23 July 1883, Page 2
August was witness at in inquest into the death of John C.C. DAWSON, a constable in the Armed Constabulary, who died suddenly on the morning of the 21st July 1883.
August BAY, being sworn said: “I am acting Hospital Sergeant at Parihaka. On Monday last Constable Dawson, the deceased, reported himself sick. I examined him and found he was suffering from fistula, which increased day by day until I found it required medical attendance, and I informed hi he would have to proceed to New Plymouth for medical treatment. On the afternoon of 20th July deceased complained of pain in his arms, they seemed partially paralysed. I administered some medicine, and after a while he seemed better. In the evening I gave him a Dover’s powder. I next saw him on the morning of the 21st July, lying in the mounted men’s whare, apparently dead, but on close examination I found his heart was still beating. I, with others, rubbed his arms and legs, and used artificial respiration, with warm bottles placed along his body. He showed signs of life until half-past 9 a.m., at which time he died. The cause of death was paralysis. The only marks on the body were abrasions of the skin on the arms and legs, as if caused by trying to get over something. There was a mark on the forehead, as if he had fallen against something.
In answer to questions put by the Coroner, witness said: “If a man is so ill that he cannot perform his duty for any length of time he is sent to New Plymouth for medical treatment, but if he sickness is of a temporary nature I attend to it myself. I am not a qualified medical man…” [13]

Compensation court hearing
JAMES SWANN, OTEA. The original award was £169 10s., and the award £129 10s. J. Swann deposed
My farm was at Otea, a distance of 20 miles from Raglan township. I had two farms. I rented one from the natives, and the other I bought from the Government. I resided at Otea until August, 1863. I lost two horses. The rebel natives took them away. One of them was found at Waipa by a European. I could not get the horse from him. I never saw him. I don't know where he lives. I lost two head of two-year-old cattle, which I have not recovered. A number of pigs were killed by the rebels. Seven head of milch cows died. I did not see the carcases. I believe now that they were taken away by the natives. I stopped as long as I could at the risk of my life. The final award was given for £104.[6]
[Dumont D’Uville’s journal of 1827 refers to Aotea [Great Barrier] as Otea].
Ann’s father Captain James SWANN died 13 or 14 April 1884 at Papanui, Raglan [Ruapuke, Aotea] after a short illness, aged 64, late of Ballina, County Wexford.[4] He is buried Papanui Point cemetery. [8]
“From 1850 onwards Captain James Swann ran a shipping service into Aotea. His vessel Mathilda carried Aotea wheat to Auckland.” [7]
As late as 1887 ballast dumps from the Mathilda could still be seen at low tide on the mudflats at Rauiri.

About
Infernal Overdrive is a heavy rock and roll band formed in early 2008 when Marc Schleicher (fmr. Quintaine Americana [Wikipedia, MySpace, AllMusic], Cracktorch [MySpace], Antler, Liquor Tricks [MySpace]) of Allston , Mass. started jamming with Mike Bennett (fmr. Loud Earth [Reverb Nation, Facebook]) in Red Bank. Soon they got Rich Miele (fmr. Loud Earth [Reverb Nation, Facebook]) on board playing second lead guitar. During some of their early shows, Jake Metz (Godzero [MySpace]) joined the band on bass, but he was soon replaced by Keith Schleicher.
Their sound is a combination of their classic influences such as Led Zeppelin, Blue Cheer, Free, Grand Funk, Cactus, Deep Purple and Pink Floyd and newer heavy bands like Kyuss, Nebula, Soundgarden, STP, QOTSA and Monster Magnet.
Biography
Rumors abound that somewhere in the depths of New Jersey time stands still and it is always 1977. Trapped in this interstellar time warp, making electric amageddon is Infernal Overdrive. Fronted by the mysterious, oft reckless Marc Schleicher (Cracktorch [MySpace], Quintaine Americana [Wikipedia, MySpace, AllMusic], Antler) - a Boston native transplanted in time and space to this 4th dimension - summoned by the all-powerful duo of Mike Bennett and Rich Miele of Loud Earth [Reverb Nation, Facebook]. After a treacherous search to find his long lost brother, Keith Schleicher was sucked into the vortex to fulfill his destiny on bass guitar. They journey in the last of the V8 interceptors, proving themselves worthy of the Small Stone pedigree. Forces to be reckoned with on their own, as a group their wonder team powers activate to kick into Infernal Overdrive.
Armed with their wits, New Jersey dialect and a passion for surviving the likes of the Tall Man, flying orbs, giant sharks, the Turnbull AC's and an occasional family of albino zombies, Infernal Overdrive will be coming to an area near you soon. Can you dig it?

Review by The Obelisk / Stoner Rock:
Infernal Overdrive Kick into Gear
With production by Andrew Schneider (Throttlerod, The Brought Low, Hackman) and mastering by Nick Zampiello at New Alliance East in Boston, there’s no doubt that New Jersey riff rockers Infernal Overdrive are going for that Small Stone Records sound. The four tracks that comprise their new self-titled EP fall in line with the kind of straightforward guitar-led rock the Detroit label has proffered for well over a decade now, and with a similar southern/classic ‘70s influence to New York’s The Brought Low, Infernal Overdrive seem remarkably conscious of what they’re doing sonically. More so than you might expect for a band just releasing their first EP.
The story goes that when guitarist/vocalist Marc Schleicher (ex-Cracktorch [MySpace], Antler) moved from Massachusetts to central New Jersey, he got hooked up with drummer Mike Bennett and guitarist/backing vocalist Rich Miele (both ex-Loud Earth [Reverb Nation, Facebook]). Keith Schleicher (relation assumed) was added on bass and Infernal Overdrive began rocking out early 2008. The EP was recorded over two days in February and four in April, and though that seems quick, none of the songs feels rushed or underdone. Schneider, who also shows up on extra backing vocals, makes his mark sound-wise in the tone of Schleicher and Miele’s guitars and Bennett’s snare sound, which has the same pop Schneider has become known for – not too bright, but able to cut through the mix and propel the songs forward. Some of Schleicher’s leads, as on EP closer “Motor,” feel a little too thought out, too structured where what I’d like to hear is a little bluesy ‘70s recklessness, but they get the job done nonetheless, and the vocals are never out of place.
Although the highway for which it’s named runs down through the whole East Coast, there’s no question that when Infernal Overdrive open the EP with “I-95,” they’re talking about Jersey. The song is a southern-hued guitar rocker that sets the tone well for the three tracks that follow with an ear toward rock traditionalism and, once again, like-minded Small Stone heavy-hitters Sasquatch, Dixie Witch, et al. It’s hard to argue with the approach when it works as well as it does on the speedy “The Edge,” which forgoes central Jersey’s reputation for heavy psychedelia in the style of Monster Magnet in favor of Halfway to Gone’s stripped-down take on rock. “Duel” slows down the pace somewhat but still keeps a mid?paced groove that makes use of some well?placed lead lines that start the song reminding me of Iron Maiden filtered through Nebula’s druggy haze. Only “Motor,” which devolves into an extended jam that brings the track to a total of just under 12 minutes, is longer, as the songs on Infernal Overdrive go in order from shortest to longest. Whether or not that’s on purpose on the part of the band, I don’t know – I’d imagine at least putting “Motor” last is – but I suppose it’s as good a method of organization as any.
There’s a short message from the Devil after “Motor” finishes up, and that’s the end of the EP. Infernal Overdrive are out relatively quick when you consider their first release is only 26 minutes and three of the four songs take up about 11 of it. No complaints though, as the four-piece know precisely how to get the most out of their sound and show exactly that on these tracks. It’s a hell of an investment to make with a self-released debut to hook up with the likes of Schneider and Zampiello, but Infernal Overdrive make the most of Schleicher and co.’s collected experience, and come off sounding confident and notably mature for a band who’s been together less than three years. It may not be changing the game, but Infernal Overdrive is definitely worth checking out for anyone who wants to hook into some solid and unpretentious heavy rock.
Review by Cutting Edge Rocks:
A couple years ago we reviewed a strong up-and-coming Jersey band Loud Earth [Reverb Nation, Facebook]. Well, it seems they dissolved and morphed into Infernal Overdrive. The new band is two parts Loud Earth [Reverb Nation, Facebook] (drummer Mike Bennett and guitarist/backing vocalist Rich Miele), one part Cracktorch [MySpace], Antler (guitarist/vocalist Marc Schleicher) and one part brother (bassist Keith Schleicher). Mike contacted me letting me know the band formed after Marc relocated from Boston and set up shop in Jersey. He sent along the EP for my listening pleasure. And a pleasure it is! The songs are baked in southern ‘70s hard rock with catchy riffs and plenty of power rumbling in the pipes. The info is sketchy but according the record’s liner notes, the four-song EP was recorded this year in Brooklyn, NY over five days (Feb 27, 28 & April 17, 18, 24, 25). Production was handled by Andrew Schneider (Throttlerod, The Brought Low, Hackman) with mastering by Nick Zampiello. Fans of our site will immediately make the Small Stone connection and that seems to be where the band are heading as the vibe is defiantly Detroit retro.
Take for instance “I-95” which opens the disc with a solid guitar wail and foot-stomping drum beat. Tambourine is added for flavor but the song bellows like fellow Boston-natives Roadsaw, mixing biker thunder with a Pat Travers/Leslie West riff-fest. Second track, “The Edge” is pure old school Nugent, including the repeat riff and frantic, almost MC5 delivery. Schleicher voice is ragged and ready to rock. The drums hammer and the bass drives laying down a solid bed for some sexy solo leads. “Duel” has more Fu Manchu in the groove. It’s mostly in the chorus, but the build in the verse is still very Scott Hill/Brant Bjork. The track also boasts our favorite solo - frayed, not over played and sparked with cosmic energy. “Motor” is a 13-minute stoner masterpiece. A heavy bottom end brings to mind Sabbath, Sasquatch and Mountain. The riff is clean but thick with a layered solo painting in all the little nuances - perfect for a psychedelic ride. The echo on the vocals adds to the songs dripping mysticism while the guitar is allowed to float, pierce and melt the brain. Yeah, it only four songs, but dude, sometime that’s all you need when they’re this good.
Review by Heavy Planet
I recently had a chance to hear some new material from thee guys and I'll tell you right now, this is a band to be on the look out for. They're going places. Their sound is straight up southern stoner rock. If I had to compare them, I'd say they're a bit harder version of The Brought Low. Checkout the usual social media spots (links below) to hear what I'm talking about and keep up to date with all their happenings because you'll certainly be hearing from them again.

Contrasting with the repainted Somerset & Dorset Lodekka, this is one of EFE's factory-produced versions. Released in May 1996, model number 14008 represents ex Brighton & Hove HPN 78D operating school contracts for Morris Bros of Swansea and Cardiff. It doesn't really fit into my collection; if I remember rightly the 1999 Showbus special model could only be obtained after buying another EFE at the event and this was going cheap so it was the one I chose. It is however rather attractive and a fine example of an independent using a double-decker as a canvas for advertising their services; the advert for the short-lived British Coachways consortium dates the vehicle to around 1980.
