AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Tale of a Victorian schoolboy who journeys to Melbourne by rail to become a clerk but after several quiet years of work is led into gambling. He loses £500 of his employer's money but through the intervention of kindly people is saved from suicide and becomes a teacher, eventually paying the money back. Overly descriptive in parts but captures a youth's introduction to the railway, Melbourne, gambling dens etc., very clearly. (PB)
