AbstractHistoryArchive Description
A convict gang of pine getters on the huon River mutiny from overwork and the cruelty of Lieutenant Hinchcliffe. No. 386 kills a soldier and escapes, followed by several others. 386, son of a Dublin merchant, had been mistreated because Hinchcliffe was jealous of the woman who had followed 386 from Dublin. 386 murders Hinchcliffe, goes to Hobart and spends a night in the hostelry run by the woman and her father - neither recognising the other. He is mad, the next day killed another officer and dies while being hunted in the mountains. A free pardon arrives too late. (PB)
