Chiness Gordon and Ross of the Cocos Islands
A rambunctious Sydney column scoffs at Gordon the Khartoum martyr and details Ross the Scot who crowned himself king of the Cocos Islands after shipwreck. It mocks adventurers, laments strikes, and notes a tack-eater railway worker and a log-chopper who kept his head for over 60 hours, while predicting dangers of a naval race and arbitration courts.

Emu Feasts End of Bird Season and Civic Snippets
A bizarre column recounts an emu raid on a hawker’s gear and a burly bird’s digestive aftermath, then mocks a maid’s risqué job note. It spars with political favors, ministerial access, and the Lands Department, and riffs on naval plans, a Japanese widow suing in New York, Kipling’s line, and a Chinese wife setting fire to a house over alleged infertility.
