Frontier and pioneer life -- Australia -- Queensland
He cares not now whate'er befalls,
His faith he still will keep;
The next on watch in turn he calls,
And folds himself in sleep.
Conobie, June 21st, 1894.

JOE WILSON AND HIS MATES.
By HENRY LAWSON, Author of "While the Billy Boils;" "When
the World was Wide and Other Verses;" "Verses, Popular
and Humorous;" "On the Track and Over the Sliprails."
Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d. (_post free 4s._) in
paper covers, 2s. 6d. (_post free 3s._)
=The Athenæum= (London): "This is a long way the best work Mr. Lawson
has yet given us. These stories are so good that (from the literary
point of view, of course) one hopes they are not autobiographical. As
autobiography they would be good; as pure fiction they are more of an
attainment."
=Pall Mall Gazette:= "We can see in these rough diamonds the men who
have of late so distinguished themselves at Eland's River and
elsewhere."
=The Argus:= "More tales of the Joe Wilson series are promised, and this
will be gratifying to Mr. Lawson's admirers, for on the whole the
sketches are the best work the writer has so far accomplished."
