A friend of the owner's with a doctor's qulifications is visiting and plays a part in averting the sworn revenge from the policeman. He also helps warn the bushranger and treats his daughter before she dies. Strong sense of Irish loyalty, faithfulness to vengeance and a lack of mercy to informers. (PB)
