"This work is made interesting by a skilfully constructed plot, and his sketch of social life in Sydney is very readable. The story opens in Auckland, where the hero receives a mysterious letter from a dead uncle, written with ink which has to be made visible with chemicals, in which he is informed of a rich gold-bearing mine in Australia. This causes Claude Angland to go to Queensland, and the author has thus an opportunity of describing Australian life and scenery. The atrocities as related in this book are painfully realistic. The hero discovers a rival to the now Mount Morgan gold niine,and this is told in a very powerful manner; the weird scenery and the surroundings of the cavern being minutely detailed."
