AbstractHistoryArchive Description

An 'up-country' doctor tells the story of attending a dying farmer. The farmer, a 'native of a small village in Normandy', relates the murderous event that led to his leaving his homeland, escaping on a 'convict vessel' bound for New South Wales. After spending 'a few years' in the colony of New South Wales, the man re-settles and prospers, but never knows 'one minute's peace'.
