Stingaree at Sunflower Bay A grim colonial court martial tale
Captain Casement and his officers prosecute and try Billy, a Sunflower Bay killer, after capturing a trader named Biggar. The court convicts Billy of murder by gun, defers sentence, and the ship sails, only for Billy to again resist capture as he is recaptured and faced with a firing squad at dawn.
