ABOUT
Signed by author
This story is an accident, the result of wandering down an interesting and irresistible byway while ostensibly engaged on other matters.
The principal matter was the pursuit of the species "Victorian colonial entrepreneur", epitomised in this case by C.W. Turner, merchant, of Christchurch. The pursuit faltered briefly when Turner's charter of the Triumph was discovered, and halted completely when the Triumph's jousting with Tiritiri light was realised.
Well illustrated with monochrome images throughout.
