Excerpt from Jack Harkaway and His Son's, Adventures in Australia When all was landed, the sailors who had rowed Hunston ashore got back into their boat. "Good-bye, Hunston, " said Sam Mason, "you're a gallus black-hearted swab, but I hope you'll mend your ways and do well. Remember your old friends on board -" Hunston turned sharply round at this. "Yes, " he said, in low, deliberate accents, "I shall not forget. Tell Harkaway that from me. I hope that we may meet again, and when we do, I shall be sure to remember all your kindness - all." "Do you hear that, men?" exclaimed Sam Mason, "There's a brave chap for you. He waits till the governor is a blessed long way out of hearing before he ventures to threaten. He reminds me of the chap as went on to Highgate Hill to tell the Lord Mayor that he'd pull his nose." Hunston stood upon the beach, watching the receding boat, and when it was too far for them to be able to distinguish his movements, he sank upon the ground and buried his face in his hands - a prey to the bitterest thoughts. The shock of solitude was dreadful. Before he met a human being again, he was destined to go through many desperate adventures. But now we have to follow the cruise of the "Westward Ho!"
