TO MY READERS.
IN the following story I have endeavoured to depict some of the obscurer portions of Australia’s shadow side.
The scenes and main incidents employed are chiefly the result of my personal observations and experiences; the remainder are from perfectly reliable sources.
Arthur James Vogan.
Tauranga, New Zealand.
September 1890.
