the Buller district till the depression robbed them of a livelihood. How they took to the bush and weathered the bad times by prospecting for gold is the story of Mr Sutherland's first book, ‘The Golden Rush.’ That is the bare outline of the story. Into it the author has packed a wealth of local history, anecdotes, and the vivid impressions of a stranger in a strange land. The gum-diggers and bushmen of the North toil again, Sister Aubert plants cherry trees along the banks of the Wanganui river, and Lofty Blomfield is popular in a Public Works camp long before the days of his fame. If Mr Sutherland has settled down somewhere at last and committed himself to one job, I hope, after reading this book, that it is writing. —J. C. Sturm.
