1 An Atmosphere Revelation Julian Hawthorne , 1897 single work short story crime
— Appears in: The Australian Journal , October vol. 32 no. 389 1897; (p. 684-685) Mining tale.

The loss of a camera and a photograph of a mirage of attempted murder convict their fellow traveller of robbery of their gold. His character is interesting in its combination of good humour, education and violence. (PB)

The night conversing together ages her by years but quiets his madness to a relative calm. Her husband dies and she takes the still insane artist to share her home.
