AbstractHistoryArchive Description
A stranger's death on the goldfields in 1854. The fate of his bones and his life as a wanderer are revealed in the diary he left, recounted by the narrator. As a youth he journeyed from England to Ireland in 1815 to gather relics from the evacuation of some ancient Christian graveyard for his antiquarian father. He disturbs a nun's bones and relics, and true to an old Irishman's curse, is haunted by her ghost till the day of his death. Capable. (PB)
