THE TRAGEDY OF FAILURE;
ALONE IN A STRANGE LAND
Australia Viewed as a Great 8ifter of
the Human Tt-Jsnts.
“During the decade I spent wander
ing to and fro on the face of tropical
Australia I saw the old order slowly
changing,” writes Bishop Frodsham In
the Cornhlll. "It has not yet quite
gone, but one by one the old hands
are ‘crossing the great divide’—to use
their own metaphor. The successful
men die in their southern homes, for,
as a rule, these leave the north to
build themselves mansions near Mel
bourne or homes by one of the land
locked Inlets of Sydney cove.
“The unsuccessful ones start out
alone on their last Journey. The busy
world who follow In their footsteps
quickly forget the men who found and
blazed the track. When they read In
the papers that such and such an ‘ear
ly citizen’ died at the local hospital or
was found dead In his solitary camp
they remember for awhile and then
again forget Yet the battered old
derelict was not infrequently one whose
name will live In the nomenclature of
mountains, river and plains.
“One blazing summer noon I met a
rough looking man in the gjay shirt
and moleskin trousers so characteris
tic of the bush. He was leaving, as I
was entering, a bush ‘hotel.’ We rec
ognized each other at sight, although
we had not met since the night when
I sat next him at his regimental mess.
I asked him to come and see me and
told him he could use any cognomen
he liked. But, with the smile I re
membered almost painfully, he refus
ed. He had forgotten how to behave,
he said. There are many such. They
meet their fate, as they mot their dis
grace, with a nonchalance not the least
valuable nsset of a gentleman.
“A man who Is above the average
gets on In Australia far quicker than
he could do normally in the old coun
try, But what about the feeble folk
who are sent abroad to relieve their
friends at home of their presence with
a remittance paid regularly upon one
condition—that they themselves do not
return! What la the frame of'mind
that makes fathers send such sous to
the outposts of civilisation! Is It the
same shortsighted optimism as that
which makes their boys so Uttle capa
ble of distinguishing between dreams
and reality—castles 1n Spain and the
squalid actualities of a bush hotel!”
