Excerpt from The Last of the Bushrangers: An Account of the Capture of the Kelly Gang And apart from this money consideration there was a further one, which appealed quite as effectively to their humble admirers. The gang never behaved badly to, or assaulted, a woman, but always treated them with consideration and respect, although ftc quently compelled by the exigencies of the Situation to put them to' considerable inconvenience. In like manner they seldom, if ever, made a victim Of a poor man. And thus they weaved a certain halo Of romance and rough chivalry around themselves, which was worth a good deal to them, much in the same way as did the British highwayman during the last century. And now, with these few necessary words of ex planation and introduction, let me get at once to my story, and the events which led to my being connected with the capture Of the last of the Bushrangers.
