LEGEND OF THE CAMPBELLS
LADY OF THE HEATHER. By Will Lawson. Oswald-Sealy, N.Z. Lid., Auckland. THIs story is written round the legend of the exile to the Campbell Islands, early last century, of a granddaughter of Bonnie Prince Charlie, suspected of treachery to the Jacobite cause. The author has used all the stage scenery required for such a drama-ships of all sizes and sails, high seas breaking monotonously on lonely South Sea ‘islands, whalers, smugglers, and ex-convicts. It makes fascinating reading of a kind, but only an elastic imagination can accept this unsullied, pious woman who is able to subdue fierce characters like Kelly the Whaler and Jules Tonquin the runaway felon, Through the worst lashings of any storm the notes of the angelus ring triumphantly and, in fact, the author would almost have us believe that Bishop Pompallier was responsible for the Treaty of Waitangi.
