The gentleman was known to the public as Professor Hemmenway, who announced himself on the programme of his entertainment as The Magician of Madagascar, though he freely confessed to his confidential friends that he had never seen the island of that name. The two boys were Harry Vane and Jack Pendleton, boys of sixteen. One had come to Australia as assistant to the professor, and had been accustomed to sing one or two popular songs at the magical entertainments which he gave, besides rendering himself generally useful. Jack Pendleton was a young sailor, who had resolved to try his fortune in the new country, either at the mines or in any other employment offering fair compensation, before resuming his profession. Harry and the professor had been passengers on board Jacks ship, and the two boys had struck up an enduring friendship. The ship had been wrecked, and they had spent some weeks together on an uninhabited island, from which they were finally rescued. It had been the professors intention to give a series of performances in Melbourne and other parts of Australia, but the unexpected delay had led him to change his plans, and he now proposed to return home at once. Harry Vane, however, having no near family ties, for he was an orphan, felt inclined to stay with Jack, and try his fortune for a time in the New World, which appealed strongly to his imagination and youthful love of adventure. The day had arrived for the professors departure, and he and the two boys were waiting for the lighter to take him down the Yarra Yarra River to the point of embarkation, eight miles distant. Harry, said the professor kindly, I dont like to leave you here. You are only sixteen, and I feel that it is a great undertaking for you to attempt to make a living so many thousand miles from your native land. I shall feel anxious about you.</p>...771714The Nugget Finders: A Tale of the Gold Fields of Australia92102https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-nugget-finders-a-tale-of-the-gold-fields-of-australia/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/781455/7e786d98-3a1c-49df-b577-308e7bcec35e.jpg?v=638336191611130000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20239781465679956_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9781465679956_<p>A STOUT gentleman of middle age and two boys were sitting in the public room of a modest inn in Melbourne.
