AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Jack is born in Wales and at an early age leaves his widowed mother to work as a farmhand. After rough treatment and witnessing his master's murder by his mistress, Jack resolves to go to London. He falls in with a tramp before reaching the city. The poverty he experiences there persuades him to stowaway on a ship where the cruelty of the captain and mate cause a mutiny. The crew lands in New Zealand, scuttles the vessel and they split up; Jack with two others finds his way to a sheep station and later to the Otago goldfields via Dunedin. He eventually returns to Wales and mother. (PB)
