AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'It is the story of strange doings in the hill country of Victoria. Hugh Wharton, at his father's bidding, sets out on the latter's death, to seek his relatives in Australia, in order to share with them his fortune, and finds them far from what he had pictured them. Between the time he rides up into the mountains on his quest, after receiving certain mysterious and disconcerting hints, until he rides down again with the girl he has won, he passes through some sensational experiences, which follow quickly upon the heels of each other, and the reader will not care to lay down the book until he has finished it.'
