AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The narrator, an eager young police constable at a country station with Prosser, discovers a wanted murderer near the hut of a paralysed man. He is wounded while spying on him, and nearly killed when left for dead in a cave with the corpse of a young Melbourne forward girl who would have betrayed him and his Irish lady. Some sympathy for criminals here - shown to have loyalty. (PB)
