Stony Hollow was reached by a three days' sea and river journey from the capital, from whence the high Customs official, who had held out a helping hand to the young couple, had seen Alma on board the steamer, with the kindly information that he had requested his brother collector at Ellenborough, where the vessel stopped for a night to take in and discharge cargo, to find her out on board, and thus make a break in the loneliness of her solitary journey.

The gentleman turned to one side rather quickly with a smile and an exclamation to himself, and felt a tug at his fob. He at once looked down, at the same time receiving from behind a shove that threw him up against a man who was standing in front of him. In a moment it flashed across the gentleman's mind that he had been robbed, and his one idea was to see and catch the robber He recovered himself and turned round sharply. A few yards from him he saw moving quickly away out of the slowly dispersing crowd, a tall man With broad sloping shoulders and a slouch hat.

They do the best they can to-day - Take no thought of the morrow; Their way is not the old-world way - They live to lend and borrow. When shearing's done and cheques gone wrong, They call it 'time to slither' - They saddle up and say 'So-long!' And ride - the Lord knows whither. And though he may be brown or black, Or wrong man there or right man, The mate that's honest to his mates They call that man a 'white man'!
