AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Arthur Gascoigne, forced to sell his commission in the British army, comes to Australia to try his fortune while waiting for some rich relatives to provide for him. Once in the Port Phillip district he plays with the affections of two eligible squatters' daughters, eventually marrying one after persuading her to elope with him. The disruption to life on the two stations, including the servants, comprises most of the tale. (PB)
