1 Faithful Even Unto Death Victorie , 1892 single work short story crime
— Appears in: The Australian Journal , May vol. 27 no. 324 1892; (p. 485-489) Tale of a priest and transportation to Australia. Set in Italy, Ireland and Australia. An Irish Jesuit priest is wrongly convicted of the murder of one of his parishioners and transported to Australia. His young brother becomes a doctor and follows him to Australia years later, determined to find him and prove his innocence. As prison doctor in Van Diemen's Land he gains a confession from the guilty murderer and finds his brother, arranging for their return to Ireland where his brother dies. Well-written; story of a young priest's life ruined, a mother's and a brother's love, and a murderer's revenge. Sketchy in parts, occasionally dully conversational language and thought, unusual subject for The Australian Journal.(PB)
