Default Excellent story.

Written by Mark Twain on a visit to Sydney. Truth of it? I do not know but explains how Cecil Rhodes (Rhodesia) made his first fortune.

Enjoyed that - just goes to show - the only thing that ever really changes is the hemline.

Thanks. I first read it in this book . I recommend it to anyone with an interest in the day to day historical narrative of Sydney. Lots of first hand accounts of life in the infant town of Sydney.
