Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Webb's End: Australian Bush Life The officer in command of the detachment was an acquaintance, stood on the outskirts, watching with a certain interest. Presently passers-by and street-loafers, coming up stragglingly, more or less surrounded him. The detachment went bending round a corner a little way off, and then the last man disappeared. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Children of Wild Australia All the time I have been writing this little book I have been wishing I could gather you all around me and take you with me to some of the places in far away Australia where I myself have seen the little black children at their play. You would understand so much better all I have tried to say. It is a bright sunny land where those children live, but in many ways a far less pleasant land to live in than our own. The country often grows very parched and bare, the grass dies, the rivers begin to dry up, and the poor little children of the wilderness have great difficulty in getting food. Then perhaps a great storm comes and a great quantity of rain falls. The rivers fill up and the grass begins to grow again, but myriads of flies follow and they get into the children's eyes and perhaps blind some of them, and the mosquitoes come and bite them and give them fevers sometimes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from What We Saw in Australia The title of our book indicates that an exhaustive account of the Colonies we visited does not come within its scope. Time fell very far short of permitting us to see everything of interest contained in each; what, however, is missing from our description of one Province will probably be found in our account of another, and thus, we believe, we have touched upon almost, if not quite all, the general features of Colonial life. We chose the chronological as the simplest form for our narrative; but a slight departure from it occurs occasionally when it seemed desirable to add information subsequently acquired to that gained upon the spot. We trust, however, that an abundant use of dates will prevent this variation from our general plan from causing any perplexity to our readers. The first requirement of a book of which the "final cause' is to give useful information, is accuracy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Belle of Australia: Or Who Am I? I kept my promises, and the master of the ship was faithful to his word; but I fear that I heard more first-class profanity on that sixty-days' passage than was good for a young man of nineteen, who had been tenderly reared by a loving mother, and who had been in the habit of associating with men who did not swear, except under great provocation. Who I was, and why I was seeking my fortune on the shores of the Pacific, will be revealed in the course of this true and minute history of my early life. Of our passage from San Francisco I will say but little, for a more disagreeable voyage I never experienced, as our men were ignorant and brutal, hardly one of them knowing the duties of a sailor, many of them shanghae'd from the shore during a drunken stupor, while the officers were impatient, cross, and tyrannical, and gave their orders with blows, and the latter usually preceded the former. The ship was a floating hell, yet as a passenger I suffered but little discomfort, and was on friendly terms with master, mates, and crew, and never failed to lend a helping hand in dressing a sailor's wounds, when a scalp was laid open with a belaying pin, fid, capstan bar, or marlinspike. I was looked upon as the surgeon of the vessel, and had free access to the medicine chest, and thus was enabled to soothe many a poor fellow's pain, which might have gone unrelieved for all the officers cared. "Angus," said Captain Crescent one morning at breakfast, the fifty-ninth day of our departure from the Golden Gate, "if the wind holds I shall land you on Australian soil tomorrow forenoon. We are making ten knots an hour, and Hobson's Bay is just two hundred miles distant." "I hope we shall see a good deal of each other while you are in port," I replied. "I hope not," was the gruff response; and then, looking up at the tell-tale compass over his head, growled out to the steward, "Go on deck, and tell that swab at the wheel that if he does not keep the ship on her course I will come up, and belt him over the head with a rope's end. - him! where is he going to?" The steward delivered the order, and returned to the cabin to wait upon the table. "No, Angus," the master said, after the tell tale had showed that the vessel was once more on her course, "I hope we shall part in Hobson's Bay, and that when we again run afoul of each other it will be in China, or the States. Blast the countries where gold is dug out of the earth by the shovelful. It spoils sailors, and makes a captain an old man afore his time."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Miner's Right: A Tale of the Australian Goldfields I took my five-year - old by the head and raced for the hedge and ditch. He gave a highly theatrical jump into the road just by the side of the carriage. I saw both the ladies gaze with astonishment as I sent him up to the head of the reinless carriage horse. 'help us, Oh help us cried Mrs. Allerton, or we shall be dashed to pieces.' The younger lady did not speak, but looked at me with her pleading eyes in such a way that I felt I could have thrown myself under the wheels then and there to have been Of the slightest service. Nothing so sacrificial was required of me. Jamming my youngster, fortunately one of the bold temperate sort, against the near side carriage horse's shoulder, I got hold of the loose rein, and dragged at his mouth in a way that must have hurt his feelings, if he had any thereabouts. The coachman seconded me well and prudently. Between us we stopped the carriage within a (quarter of a mile, and saved the impending smash. The rein was knotted, the bits altered to the lower bar, and peace was restored. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Lwas a district visitor in the parish which he served, and in which he was born. He became a rector on the wedding day. The charming rectory was placed at our disposal for the honeymoon by the real incumbent, our mutual friend, he and his good wife taking the opportunity to pay visits until we had done with it. We drove thither in the afternoon, and heard the bells ringing as we entered the village, and found the rectory-gate set wide and the white-satin-ribboned maids awaiting us on the doorstep of the beflowered house. We had two maids and a man servant we had a brougham we had a tiny hamlet of a parish in which (compared with what we have known of parishes) there was nothing to do - two services on Sunday, and a little business of coal and clothing clubs during the week and where our parishioners dropped curtseys to us on the road, and felt honoured beyond measure when we went to see them. No wonder that, under the too totally opposite circumstances of clerical life as we have lived it here, we have looked back to that haven of dignified peace and ease with the wish - the stupid wish - that we could have had it always.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from One Big Union for Australia The world's toiling masses are stirring; the age-long mental sleep of Labor is breaking, and thoughts almost sweet and visionary whisper the hope of a new indus trial world to countless millions. In the factory and the field are work-weary men and women; in the trenches, high in the air, deep in the gloomy mine men are murmuring this new-born thought of Industrial Freedom. Political freedom has failed to satisfy; the right to vote has been weighed and found wanting. Parliaments and Governments come and go, but the deadly struggle for meals never relaxes, a struggle so frequently fought by the wage-earner - and lost. In the social crucible old ideas are vanishing. In the mad massacre for markets we see beliefs, customs and once-honored institutions being rapidly swept into a well-merited oblivion, and new conditions, bearing with them new ideas, are moving the laboring multitude.
