Trenoweth, haunted by voices he believes to be Baroons, treks with Kallakoo along a river where station hands skin drowned beasts for hides. A burly horseman, Ba, questions them as Trenoweth braces for release from his oppressive life, while the Aboriginal guides him toward civilization and safety.
Edward Trenoweth reappears after months wandering the Australian outback. He recounts rescue by Kallakoo and friends Long and Ballakico, travels from Poole to Wentworth, and finally reaches Melbourne to surprise his friend John Barr, who believed him dead.
Barr learns Edward’s wandering routes and discovers news of three dead prospectors including Grey and two Nortons. The tale notes a fourth member Trenoweth vanished, with the reader’s familiarity implied. Trenoweth reacts by asking if his mother has been told.
