Preface: The material for these Sketches was gathered during the years I spent in Australia - my native land. Some of the incidents came to me in the form of Camp Fire Yarns; some are based on personal experience; but I wish them to be accepted only as fiction, in which some little idea is conveyed of certain phases in Australian life. R. S. B.
