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.” Miscellaneous.
