HENRY KINGSLEY
English author (1830 - 1876)

Near the end of February 1857, I think about the 20th or so,
though it don't much matter; I only know it was near the latter
end of summer, burning hot, with the bushfires raging like
volcanoes on the ranges, and the river reduced to a slender
stream of water, almost lost upon the broad white flats of quartz
shingle.
