TOM HUNGERFORD. A STORY OF TJSE EARLY DAYS OF THE OTAGO GOLDFIELDS. By Captain Baldwin. WE have much pleasure in announcing that we have made arrangements with Captain Baldwin for the production of a new and oi'iginal Tale, entitled, " Tom Hungerford," which will shortly appear in the Tuapeka Times, and be continued weekly in its columns. Captain Baldwin's literary abilities are sufficiently well known to warrant the belief that this tale will be both attractive and instructive. His letters, descriptive of California, of the route along the Pacific Railway, and of Salt Lake City, which appeared in the "Otago Daily Times," have stamped him as a writer of no mean order. Besides, he has an intimate acquaintance with the early days of our goldfields — an acquaintance acquired from personal experience. In "Tom Hungerford "he intends to give us the result of this experience, we believe -to "tell us much that has hitherto remained untold, and to lay before us much that is now forgotten respecting an important period in the history of the colony. The interest of the story will be further enhanced by the fact that it is intended, we understand, to lay the plot for the most part in the districts wherein our readers principally reside. " Tom Hungerford's " life will be the life of a New Zealand settler, such as it actually is and has been — " a plain unvarnished tale," wherein fiction will be blended with facts so far only .as is necessary to give the plot sufficient interest. The opening number will appear in our issue of the 29th August. Our own expense and trouble bringing out the tale will be amply repaid if it possesses only -half the interest for our reader? whidh'^Vis anticipate. i
