Notes

Author's note: The following verses, together with many others, with even weaker claims to reproduction, originally appeared in the columns of the Geraldton Express over the pen-name of 'Viator.' Whether such fugitive pieces possess sufficient merit to warrant their reclamation, and present re-appearance, may be safely left to the public. If the latter decide in the negative, their verdict will not clash with the opinion of THE AUTHOR.
