A collection of short stories written during the heyday of the
Switzers (Southland) gold rush in the 1870s and was first published
in the Otago Daily Times in 1880. From the co-author of Waiting for
the Mail and Other Sketches and Poems.
The story of the clipper ship Clontarf: In her short career the
Clontarf made only two journeys to New Zealand between 1858-1860;
introducing just under 800 emigrants to Canterbury. But before she
slipped beneath the North Atlantic ocean she carried with her the
unfortunate infamy of accumulating the worst human fatality from
illness alone in a single voyage. Using shipboard diaries, official
documentation, shipping lists and the combined information from the
descendants of Clontarf passengers themselves, this is an
informative and in-depth record of the ship and her journeys.
