AbstractHistoryArchive Description
A German hawker is murdered by a shanty keeper in Victorian ranges.
The hawker's carriage is let loose to distract suspicion but an ugly clever serving girl guesses his secret and helps him to escape through a false suicide in return for the shanty deeds. She falls low in Melbourne, subsequently. A man of all work, the local policeman, and a Melbourne detective surprise a 'ghost' and capture their man. (PB)
