Overview

Excerpt from Federated Australia, And, the Squatter's Story: Prize Essay and Novelette; A Practicable Scheme for the Federation of Australasia One of my companions was a young Englishman of aristocratic birth, whose friends were glad to be rid of, because of his fast and indolent habits; though I must say, that whilst with me he did not exhibit these failings, and a more honorable, faithful, hard-working young fellow than Cecil Maitland I never knew. He was daring and generous, a thorough scholar, and a pleasant companion. The o1er was a thrifty young Scotchman, who a few months before had run away from a vessel. He, too, was thoroughly reliable, of pleasant temperament and splendid physique. Mac. As we called him, was the life of our party. In his early days, in the Land o' Cakes, he had gained useful experience amongst sheep and cattle we therefore found him of very great service. Of myself little shall be said, except that I was the son of a well-known Anglican bishop, had received a good education, but, disliking the monotony of a profession, took to bush life.
