sVS KAY MORNING Dec. 23. 196*
Australian Life Illustrated.
Surveying and exploring anew dis
trict in Queensland, i* a matter of some
hardship and peril, lit the evenings,
after the day’s work is over, when we
have finished our “damper,” salt beef,
slid tea, and are smoking our pipes
round a biasing log fire, many a strange
story is told. My men are old Bush
men, and nre up to a thing or two ;
especially Mv Chainman.
He is a harum-scarum, reckless, hand
some, genuine Irishman, of very re
spectable family, induced to emigrate
many years ago as a hopeless scape
grace. He has knocked about New
South Wales and Queensland in all
sorts of capacities. I tell in with him by
chance. • 1 was fortunate enough to
save his life, engaged him, and believe
him to be as devoted and fine a fellow as
there is in the world.
A few years ago, My Chainman was
journeying in the direction of Sidney
from a place in the interior called, I
think, Jtnballah. Having stopped at
several public houses on the way, he
found himself stiff on his journey with
s ten pound note, halt a sovereign, and
a halt crown, in his pocket. About a
hundred miles from Sidney, he found
some confusion in a public house which
he had entered to obtain refreshment.
The landlady was frying bitterly, and
the servants were in a great fright.
When be eutered, the hostess eagerly
exclaimed :
“You arc not one of thim, are you?”
“What do you mean ?”
“Oeh. it’s the Bushrangers I mane.
You aren't one of thim?’’
“Xo. Have they been here, then ?”
“Yes, halt an hour ago. and cleared
my house of nil I had. Musha ! The
widdy’s curse be upon thim !”
“HaTe ther gone down the road, or
struck right into the bush ?”
“Gone down the road to stick up all
they meet wid.”
“How many ?”
“Three ; sorrow less.”
Now, My Chainman mux! go down to
to Sydney. He could not take the hush
for it, as he did not know the country
well enough. He might evade the
Bushrangers by some lucky chance,
Xiilher bv the aid of night or other
means He was dressed, of course, in
the gear ol a thorough Bushman, and
they might sp.re him on the old Scotch
principle: "Hawks pyke nut out hawks'
een.” Besides, he might conceal his
ten pound note, and it would not break
his heart to lose his half sovereign and
half crown. On the whole, then, he
saw nothing for it but to resume his
journey. He chose his short sock as
the best place for the bank note, and
thrust the note into it, without folding
it up.
Forth he went, and rode rapidly for
about an hour without seeing the
rangers; however, he distinctly saw the
fresh tracks of four horses in advance.
At an abrupt turn of the road, he was
covered by three revolvers, and ad
dressed by three voices :
“Dismount 1”
No help for it. He got off his horse,
and took a survey of the “glorious
three.” One was a very good-natured
looking fellow ; the other seemed rather
backward; the third was an unmis
takable ruffian.
“Where have you been ? You re a
digger.”
“I'm just coming from the Wanoorah
Higgins.”
These gold fields were noted for their
poverty.
“How much money have yon got?”
“One half sovereign and one halt
crown.”
“Is that all ?”
“That's all.”
It was the good-natured man who
Spoke in this dialogue.
“I think. Jim, we may let him off.
The poor devil must lie hard up, coming
from those wretched diggings."
“We’il have something to Bay to him
first," replied Number Three, whose
accent was Irish; and this gave My
Chainman some hope.
“Well, at all events, he must have a
glass of grog.” My Chainman according
ly drank a bumper that took his breath
away.
“Walk before me into the bush, ’ then
said Number Three.
“Not a bit of it, Jim ; let the poor
devil go. Why, lie’s a countryman ol
your own. What do you say, Jack ?”
“Never.mind what Jack says," re
plied Number Three. “Don’t umke an
ass of yourself. Dick. I'll have my way
in this.”
He motioned to My Chainman to go
on; and on he went till they reached a
belt of scr üb.
“Halt! Now, listen to me. It’s my
opinion that you arc a schemer. II I
find one shilling on you more than
you have acknowledged to ’ (he swore a
terriffic oath), “I’ll blow your brains out
on the spot. Strip !”
My Chainman owned to me that for a
moment he felt a mortal terror, hut he
shook it off, and proceeded to undress.
“Take off your jumper first —nut your
hoots. Now your llauiiei shirt, throw
them over to me.”
the daily press.
VOL. 11.
lie examined them thoroughly.
“Take off your boots; throw them
here. Now your trousers.”
He found in the pockets the two
coins; ami My Chinamen* hoped that
the search -was over. Not yet.
“ 1 ake off your socks.”
To hesitate was instant death. The
ruffian shook both the socks. Let the
reader fancy the beating of My Chain
man's heart, meanwhile. As he had
thrust the note into the sock without
folding it up, and as the robber had
caught the uole with the thick sock
between his finger anil thumb, it was
thus prevented fr,*m dropping out. To
such small things a man may owe dear
life itself.
“Now be off!’’
“\V hat! said My Chainman ; “would
you seud a man away stark naked, and
in this weather, too ?”
"You ought to be thankful fervour
life.”
Just then, up came Dick.
“Haven't you searched him yet?
\\ hat the devil's the use of keeping him
in the cold ?''
‘•f ou mind your own business,
Dick."
“Jim. ' retorted Dick, “you know 1
can stand a good deal; but you're r.ot
tiie man to bide a quarrel with me when
1 m roused. I won't allow you to do
us you did the last time. Give this
man his boots and trousers; keep his
jumper, it you want it.”
Thus they split the difference, and
My Chainman was left on a bush road
without a horse, and only half clad.
He had his ten poun 1 note, however.
Alter walking briskly for about
twelve miles, he came to a sly grog
shop, where he found two men con
versing ; one, evidently the host; the
other (he knew as well as if it had been
revealed to him), was the fourth Bush
ranger.
In the endless wilds ot Australia,
there is not a Bushman whose life does
not often depend on “tracking;” and so
wonderful do Bushmen become in this
respect, that they can tell the date of
every mark upon the ground. 1 have
heard them debare as to whether a
black’s track was an hour old, or two
hours. Now, My Chainman had seen
the tracks of four horses in company,
and he had earafully tracked the fourth
up to this ‘‘humpy,” close to which
it was standing quietly, tied by the
bridle.
“If I don’t ride that horse awnv from
this, to day,” said My Chainman to him
self, “may I never have the blessing ot
St. Patrick!”
The host was a little man ; the Bush
ranger was a tall and muscular villain,
with lung black hair falling down Iris
shoulders—-a had sign, as it showed lie
had been long “out.”
They had been talking on a subject
that had excited the Bushranger, and
that subject, as fur as My Chainman
could gather from the muttered words
he overheard at his entrance, was that
the police were ou their way up, and
not ve'y far off.
Mv Chainman gave the Masonic sign;
it was answered by the host.
“Hallo!” said the Bushranger, “where
do you hail Irom ?”
“I have come down the road.”
“Haven’t you got a horse?”
There was no use of shamming here,
so Mv Chainman at once replied :
“1 was stuck up and rubbed twelve
miles from this, by the Bushrangers.”
“The devil 1 Are they so near ?
Isn’t it fortunate, Casey, that I know
this in time ?”
“Why?” said- Casey; “you are not
going that way ; you came from that
direction yourself a while ago.”
The Bushranger at that moment was
lighting his pipe with a burning .coal,
and his back was turned. My Chain
man gave a look and made a gesture,
which were perfectly understood by the
shrewd little host.
“I must he going, old man,”, said the
Bushranger, after his pipe had been
successfully lighted. “Let s have a
glass of grog all around first.”
“All right,” said the little man. Three
glasses ot’ rum soon stood before the
party. My Chainman put his hand
forward to take up eno of the glasses,
but Casey, with an awkward apology
about helping the gent first, handed the
robber that very glass, gave another to
My Chainman, and drank off the third
himself.
My Chainman understood all this,
and hoped that the stupifying potion
soon take effect. But no. The ruffian’s
constitution was as sound as the founda
tion of St. Paul’s, and the draught
only increased his sharpness and pene
tration.
“Do you think I don't see through
you?” said he, with a diabolical glance
at Casey. “I ’am not so sure of you'’
(this was to My Chainman) ; “if I was,
1 know what I should do.”
“What have I done, sir ?” said
Casey.
“What have you done, you villain ?
Everything. “I’ll have your life !”
Now, although My Chinaman did not
think that the ruffian meant the threat
literally, yet he made his little prepara
tions. The fellow was nrmed to the
teeth. He had two revolvers in his
side belt, and a double barrelled gun
stood dose to him. A large sheath
knife hung on his hip. Every second
increased the ruffian’s fury. His curses
| and threats were appalling. Casey,
AUGUSTA, GA., SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 23, 1866.1
the other side of the fire, sat the picture
of dismay.
“Why don't you answer me?” the
robber at last shouted.
“Because,” gasped Casey. “I have
nothing to say.”
“Nothing to say?” roared the Bush
ranger. “Take that 1”
He drew u revolver, half rose from
his seat, and, with wonderful quickness,
levelled the weapon at Casey. ' But My
Chainman was quicker than he. He
had quietly pick'd up an American
tomahawk, which lay on a block beside
him, and, just as the Bushranger had
given the half turn to lire, down caine
the tomahawk on the back ot the neck.
The pistol exploded at the same mo
ment. The wretched man gave hardly
a quiver. He was dead in a second.
The two survivors looked into each
other’s faces.
“Ofcourse he was a Bushranger?”
inquired Casey, alter a long pause.
Os course he was,” said My Chain
man; and he then told him the whole
story. “But even if it were not, I did
it in self defence, for he would have
shot me the next minute.”
“You saved my life, however.” said
Casey, “and that is everything to the
purpose.”
“I thought at first,” said My Chaiu
man, “that you were in league with the
robbers.”
“Probably I might have been forced
to be so in time,” was the reply ; “but I
have not been here long, and, rely upon
it, I shan't he here long.”
“What is the best tube done?’ said
My Chainman. “Shall I ride on and
meet the police, if they are on the
way ?”
“For the Lord’s sake, don’t!” ex
claimed the other. “His mates are
sure to be here in no time, and they’ll
torture me if they find this out.”
“Get up behind me, and we'll both
ride off,” said My Chainman.
1 Then I leave everything belong
ing to me to he plundered.”
“Well, then, man, what is it you
want ? What's your advice ?”
“Let us throw the body down that
rock into the scrub there, and then
clean up. You ride off. I’ll pretend
that their mate was after you. If you
du not meet the police, don’t say a word
about it.”
“But the horse and saddle may he
stolen property.”
“You must chance that. It’s the
only plan.
My Chainman adopted the only plan,
rode down to Sydney, and sold the
horse.
“But now sir,” said he, “comes the
strangest part of the story ; and if 1
didn't feel sure 'that you would believe
me, I would never tel! it. Years passed,
and 1 happened to be travelling through
a town where the assizes were going
on. I heard that a great murderer was
to be tried, so I went to hear the tria',
1 did hear the trial. As I live ana
must die, one of the officials of that
court, and not the lowest either, was
Jim, the Bushranger, who stripped
me.”
“Ot course yon communicated your
discovery to the police ?’’
My Chaimmin gave a dry cough, and,
I rather think, got red in the face.
“I never much cottoned to the police,
sir, at any time—least of all then. Not
so much for my own sake as for
others’.”
“I see, I see,” said I; “but I hope
that was the only human blood you ever
shed?”
“The only drop,” said My Chainman,
in some confusion, “saving and except
ing one other case. That's a longer
yarn than this.”
