About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1899.

M. when our boat drew up anchor and sailed away toward the distant islands of New Zealand. We watched the town of Sydney grow smaller and smaller until we could see it no longer. Then we turned our attention to the scenes about us. Our steamer, we were told, was very old but steady and reliable. She had about forty passengers aboard and when we got out away, two young stowaways were found in the ship. Her cargo of two thousand tons included eleven horses, a collie dog, Jack, and some birds, chiefly Australian parrots. Among the passengers were a Church of England rector and his wife, residents of New Zealand, a rosy cheeked woman from Brisbane, a grey-haired father and his only idolized baby boy, a very red faced, white haired man ...
