Throughout the book, Lady Barker's writing is engaging and vivid, bringing to life the sights, sounds, and experiences of life on a New Zealand sheep station. ""Station Amusements in New Zealand"" is a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, and a must-read for anyone interested in the history of New Zealand or the experiences of early settlers in the region.I expected every moment to hear the revolver go off, but mercifully it did not do so; and as his thorny bed was hardly to be endured, F---soon kicked himself off it, and before I could realize that he was unhurt, had scrambled to his feet, and was rushing off, crying in school-boy glee, ""That will fetch him out"" That (the rock) certainly did fetch him (the pig) out in a moment, and Pincher availed himself of the general confusion to seize hold of his enemy's hind leg, which he never afterwards let go.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
