plenty that fellow go bong (dead) by-and-by, mine believe." We all
jumped up, and sure enough, poor Cato came slowly towards us, looking
the ashy-grey colour to which fear turns the black, and followed by
Ferdinand, who dragged after him a large black snake, the author of
the mischief. If Australia is exempt from wild beasts, the number of
venomous reptiles with which it is
cursed make it as dangerous to the
traveller as other tropical countries in which ferocious animals
abound. Hardly a tree or a shrub can be
found that does not contain or conceal some
stinging abomination. The whole of these are not, of course, deadly,
but a tarantula bite, or a centipede sting, will cripple a strong man
for weeks, while a feeble constitution stands
a fair chance of succumbing. But of all these pests, none can equal
the snakes, which not only swarm, but seem to have no fear of man,
selecting dwellings by choice for an abode. These horrible reptiles
are of all sizes, from the large carpet snake of twenty feet, to the
little rock viper of scarcely half a dozen inches.
The great majority of these are venomous, and are of too many
different kinds for me
to attempt their enumeration here. The most
common with us were
the brown, black, and whip snakes, and the death-adder, all poisonous;
and the carpet-snake, harmless. The brown and black snakes run from
two to eight feet in length, frequent the long grass, chiefly in the
neighbourhood of swamps, and from the snug way in
which they coil up, and their disinclination to move, are highly
dangerous. The la

captains, and
pressed their objections upon the Ambassador on August 23, 1915. "I
thereupon suggested that perhaps the best way would be to refer the
matter to a general
election. To this the 'Camp Committee' demurred,
and upon my asking what suggestion
they had to proffer appeared to consider that they, a self-constituted
body, should be given charge of the camp by me. This proposition
I naturally rejected, especially as the members of this self-appointed
committee were, although very estimable gentlemen,
_personae non gratae_ both to the majority of the prisoners and to the
military authorities.... A final decision
of the question as to whether the present government of Ruhleben is
representative or not is to be found in the election of September 15,
1915, when every one of the captains at that time
in authority was re-elected. The
occasion was caused by the decision of the military authorities to
withdraw the soldiers from
the camp, and the captains therefore
considered it desirable that they should appeal to the
camp for decision as to whether it was wished that they should continue
the government or not. I cannot see that any further
proof is required as to whether the captains represent the feelings of
the majority of the
camp." One cannot help asking oneself, was the critic a member of the
disbanded "Camp Committee"? The United States
Ambassador on more than one occasion proved
himself capable of speaking very decidedly to the German authorities
of things he disapproved of. In this case, too, he speaks (though not
to the German authorities) with some
decision:
A properly heated and lighted recreation and assembling room is
certainly extremely desirable for the damp and cold winter time. A new
barrack has been sanctioned by the military authorities for th
