Peril on the high seas! Adventure in a harsh land! The first hand account of one man's part in the saga of Australia's unique history.

The author, George Barrington ( 1755 1804) was an Irish pickpocket, popular London socialite, Australian pioneer (following his transportation to Botany Bay), and author. His escapades, arrests, and trials were widely chronicled in the London press of his day. For over a century following his death, and still perhaps today, he was most celebrated for the couplet True patriots all; for be it understood, We left our country for our countrys good. One account states that on his voyage out to Botany Bay a conspiracy was hatched by the convicts on board to seize the ship. Barrington disclosed the plot to the captain, and the latter, on reaching New South Wales, reported him favourably to the authorities, with the result that in 1792 Barrington obtained a warrant of emancipation (the first issued), becoming subsequently superintendent of convicts and later high constable of Parramatta.

Barrington employed the artist and engraver Vincent Woodthorpe as his illustrator.

This book is part of the Classics of Exploration Library . The books in the library have been out of print for decades, and therefore not accessible to the public. Now brought back into print after many decades, the material have been copied in facsimile from the original editions, with each title meticulously hand curated.

The book is as close as possible to the original work.
