AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Danger, excitement and daring - this is an extraordinary true story. In 1876 a group of Irish Fenian convicts were rescued from the coast of Western Australia, snatched from under the very noses of their British gaolers and whisked to safety in America. A dramatic international tale to match any modern-day intrigue.' (Publisher's blurb)
