AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A new chum leaves his gold mining partners, irritated by Old Will's corrections, taking his share of gold with him. He is nearly killed by thieves when the younger of his ex-partners dreams of his predicament and they set out to rescue him. Old Will is wounded and death approaches ... Set in an isolated gully not a general goldfield. Sentimental, warm tale. (PB)
