Fifty Lashes : A Maori War Incident,
single work
short story
During the colonial wars in New Zealand, Charles Stanton, a British officer, falls in love with Kiora Selby, daughter of a Maori woman and a white settler. Stanton's courtship, however, is disrupted by the machinations of a fellow soldier, himself in love with Kiora, who manipulates Stanton into giving in to his weakness for alcohol.
