Can you help with translating this 1840s ?German? - "Schablu" or "Schables"?

The main figure in these pencil sketches is a wattle gum collector about 1845 South Australia - an image quite overlooked.

Wattle gum was an early export industry for South Australia and gummers collected the gum, often from public lands. In July 1845 the Legislative Council considered licensing the itinerant gummers and hawkers.

The caption below the sketch is "tranqant"? and "Schablu" or "Schables". These may be separate words or a phrase. "tranqant" = transient? I'm lost on "Schablu".

Image: manipulated caption.

The Art Gallery of South Australia has lately put online a few more artworks by colonial artist George French Angas.

"Extinct Crater, Mount Gambier, 6th May 1844" is one I'd written about (from a book image in B&W). Seeing it in colour supports my contention that "Blue Lake" is by Gill not Angas (and it is not Blue Lake).

Here's Port Adelaide in the 1840s.

Use the interactive map to see the port from the (literal) points of view of colonial artists. Overlaid on an historical map.

I've just updated this map - first developed in 2020 - with new content and a nicer "feel". (Best with computer or tablet, not phone.)

This morning I came across this 1840s watercolour of Government House, Adelaide in the State Library SA collection. It's attributed to Governor George Gawler as the artist, but I think it's actually by S T Gill and it's nearly identical to another Gill held by Art Gallery SA.

Thread in my Head

My seemingly random posts are a thread in my head. 1840s. 1. Portrait has a scar tree! 2. Other scar tree painting is a canoe tree at Moorundie (below Blanchetown). 3. A parallel sketch does not show this canoe tree. 4. Is there other artistic or photographic evidence of this particular canoe tree (or was artistic licence taken)? 5. Finding, mapping and dating Moorunde images. 6. 1845 sketch found with either wrong title, date or artist (because he was elsewhere at the time). 8. Brain needs a rest.
Not sure I have enough firm data for good mapping.
To be continued…

Currently researching this portrait of John Horrocks - you may know him as "the only explorer to be shot by his camel". Notice anything unusual?

This is a 19th century photo of a no longer known painting. Could it be by S.T. Gill? Historical context being researched with SLSA and, as always, via Trove and other digitised and undigitised resources.
