Excerpt from Bush-Life in Queensland, Vol. 1 of 2: Or John West's Colonial ExperiencesThe good Ship Marie Hamilton, an Aberdeen clipper, 700 tons burthen, bound for Sydney, is forging her way down the Channel with a fair Wind in her top sails. The pilot has gone on shore, and With his depart ure the last adieu to England has been Spoken. The green Slopes of Sussex are sinking over the quarter. Beachy is already behind, and it is doubtful if the passengers can catch the Needles before nightfall. Most of them are too full of the parting to speak much. Remembrances of friends left behind crowd their memories, and the receding shores give a point to the poignancy of their parting regrets, To-morrow it will be different, When there is only the Wide sea.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
