Fifty years before the possession of Empire had offered an element of circus, to make up for the shortage of bread, and to a minority of Englishmen still it provided the stimulus of challenge and response, keeping their minds perhaps, like healthy team games at school, off more debilitating topics.

    Trusting his life to his
...rifle, groping ahead in the blind!
    Seeking new lands for his people!—This is the end of the day, A little mound on the mountain, a little cross in the clay….1 Every adventurous taste was provided for then, in the boom days of Empire: the frissons of exploration, speculation, prospecting or war; the call of the pioneer’s trek and the settlers’ bivouac; the grand excitement of emigration itself, to a new life on the frontiers.
