In a short time that functionary arrived, attended by his chief officers, including his private and colonial secretaries, principal superintendent of convicts, and the officer commanding royal engineers. After complimenting the men upon their clean and creditable appearance, and the favourable report which had been made to him of their general conduct during the voyage, Sir George Gipps called out such as had been specially recommended to him by the surgeon-superintendent and captain of the vessel, in which list I had the good fortune to be included, and, after expressing his perfect approbation of our behaviour, he intimated his intention of extending to us every indulgence which the regulations of the colony would au thorise and allow. Having duly acknowledged his Excellency's notice, we were dismissed to our respective wards in the barracks, and then locked up, to prevent all communication with any of the old hands who might be in the yard. At the time of our arrival the different gangs were out at work, and the yard was comparatively empty; but when, at the hour of five in the evening, they returned to their quarters, I really imagined (as troop after troop poured in, in one continuous stream) that they would never cease, and, the before restrained freedom of their tongues being now removed, that the inmates of some gigantic Bedlam had actually broken loose. But what sound is that which rises superior to the confused and commingled din, whose shrill echoes pierce the remotest precinct occupied by the turbulent mass, and stills, as if by magic power, the clash of convict tongues? It is the voice of their King--that fearful voice which quells the stoutest...

Download or read book Out of the Rat Trap written by Max Reisch and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the Austrian Max Reisch, pioneer international motorist and writer of the 1930s, the Second World War offers yet more opportunities for adventure. Here is his lively account of his time with a vehicle maintenance unit of Rommel’s legendary Afrikakorps in Libya, Egypt and Tunisia. On forays into the desert at the wheel of a captured Jeep, searching out wrecked vehicles for spare parts, he visits the fabulous oasis of Siwa and digs his way out of the sinister minefield of Minqar Qaim. Seeing German defeat as inevitable, Reisch hatches several escape plans and finally, with no experience of the sea, acquires a dilapidated fishing boat and some rudimentary navigation skills. He avoids capture at Tunis and, despite damage to the boat, sets sail for Sicily together with seven comrades (and one small dog). Running the blockade of Allied warships and weathering a sudden storm, his motley crew succeeds against the odds. Out of the Rat Trap is a rare and fascinating insight into the Afrikakorps and an entertaining account of a daring escape from the Allies in the Western Desert.

Book excerpt: The galaxy has changed. Armies of Chaos march across the Dark Imperium, among them the Death Guard, servants of the Plague God. But shadows of the past haunt these traitors… The Death Guard have returned to prominence with the return of Mortarion and their fabulous model range, and Chris Wraight's previous work with them (in his Space Wolves novels, notably) makes him the perfect person to delve into their particular darkness. The Cadian Gate is broken, and the Imperium is riven in two. The might of the Traitor Legions, kept shackled for millennia behind walls of iron and sorcery, has been unleashed on a darkening galaxy. Among those seeking vengeance on the Corpse Emperor’s faltering realm are the Death Guard, once proud crusaders of the Legiones Astartes, now debased creatures of terror and contagion. Mighty warbands carve bloody paths through the void, answering their lord primarch’s call to war. And yet for all their dread might in arms, there is no escape from the vicious legacies of the past, ones that will pursue them from the ruined daemon-worlds of the Eye of Terror and out into the smouldering wastes of the Imperium Nihilus.
