Stack Annex PREFACE Urged by my wife, and indeed also by many friends, I have for a long time intended to record my experiences of many years with a view to publishing them. I do not think I would have carried out my intention but for the insistence of my good friend Walter G. Henderson, of A lbury, author of Midnight s Daughter, The Bathers, and other works depicting Australian life. When staying with me in Blackheath last year he so pressed me to make a start that I did so. His enthusiastic appreciation of my work has been unfailing ever since, and has greatly helped to the conclusion of my task in setting forth these experiences of 35 years of my life. All I have narrated is at first hand and actual fact. If by any chance these memories of the past should take on, I hope to put the experiences of the following 45 years into another volume C.F. Blackheath, November, 1917. 5.
