1 An Ocean Waif A Seafarer , 1885 single work short story adventure
— Appears in: The Australian Journal , March vol. 20 no. 238 1885; (p. 394-396) Tales of an infant rescued by a ship of British sailors in the Atlantic Ocean, the love they come to feel for him in caring for him, and his sudden death which grieves them all. Pleasantly written; counterpoints the square unaccustomed fingers of the rough sailors and the feelings the baby arouses. (PB)
