Bunyip Land

by George Manville Fenn (1831-1909)

Joe Carstairs is a boy on a farm in Australia. His father is a keen
naturalist who, some years before had set off for New Guinea in
search of specimens, and never been heard of again. Joe is old
enough to mount a search expedition, and takes with him a local
doctor and an aboriginal worker on his farm. They find themselves
joined by a stowaway, Jimmy, whose father is a squatter (farmer)
nearby, together with his dog, Gyp.

This team sets off, arrives in New Guinea, hires some more porters,
and travels guided by some sixth sense straight to where Mr.
Carstairs has been kept a prisoner, along with another Englishman,
whose mind has gone under the stress of his imprisonment.

There are the usual close shaves and tense moments, but finally they

achieve their end, and return home triumphantly. (Gutenberg Text)
