The following story contains extremely racist portrayals of indigenous Australians. It is included here as a record of the violent prejudice white immigrants felt and expressed towards the original inhabitants of the land they invaded and as an early fictional take on the story of the captive white woman of Victoria, whose posited existence lead to massacres of the Gunai-Kurna people of Gippsland.
The story is also missing one section of chapter three, as this appears not to have been published in The Warragul Guardian with the rest of the serialised novella.
