Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from M'glusky: Being a Compilation From the Diary of Trooper McWiddy of Remington's Scouts
When the war between the British and Dutch was talked about, Mac promptly threw up a comfortable Government job in South Australia, made his way down to Port Adelaide, and shipped as a fireman on board a steamer bound for Cape Town. He made no secret of his mission, either in port or upon the boat, in consequence whereof he managed to pick up pretty nearly as much hard fighting as even his belligerent soul yearned for, which caused the chief engineer to send for him for the purpose of remonstrating with him.
