Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of thrilling tales from the author's adventurous and sometimes perilous life as a young man in the remote regions of Western Australia and the Torres Strait Islands at the turn of the 20th century. With poetic prose, the author vividly narrates his early struggles as a teenage runaway seeking his fortune during the height of the gold rush, where he contends with both the harsh realities of life as a miner and the inevitable pitfalls that accompany excessive alcohol consumption. The narrative concludes with a lively account of a harebrained scheme that sees the author embarking on a perilous pearl diving expedition to the Torres Strait Islands, guided by the advice of dubious characters. Along this arduous journey, the author is exposed to the dangers and complexities of the diving and pearling industry, all while contending with the fierce weather and unsavory individuals that inhabit the island's enigmatic world.
