1 Defending the Homestead W. J. H. , 1896 single work short story
— Appears in: The Australian Journal , March vol. 31 no. 370 1896; (p. 302-303) Set on a Lachlan station in 1848, the owner and his Irish man of all work 'Murphy' defend themselves from a combined force of bushrangers and blacks. A small friendly black boy, Jacky, meanwhile rides for help. Good action descriptions of the attack where the Irishman's sabre plays a part. Interesting treatment of the boy; and the Irishman's souvenirs of a bottled black hand and fingers. (PB)
