Admonished of his neglect by this sharp rebuke, he turned round quickly towards the desert, and gave the fearful alarm of "The Arabs!" Every man ceased his work, and the Whole were on the point of rushing in a body towards their arms, when the greater steadiness of Captain Truck prevented it. "Whereaway?" he demanded sternly. "On the most distant hillock of sand, may be a mile and a half inland."
This was the song she sang: "Whereaway, whereaway goes the lad that once was mine? Hereaway I waited him, hereaway and oft; When I sang my song to him, bright his eyes began to shine Hereaway I loved him well, for my heart was soft.
Having surrendered our tickets and come through a down-hill passage to the dusty, dirty, stony, open space where vehicles awaited travellers, the usual corner "pub." in this instance a particularly dilapidated one and three tin kangaroos fixed as weather-cocks on a dwelling over the way, and turning hither and thither in the hot gusts of wind, were the first objects to arrest my attention in the town of Noonoon, near the river Noonoon, whereaway it does not particularly matter.
The last two verses of the song kept drowning his sense of the actual, and he was swayed by the superstition of bygone ancestors: "Whereaway goes my lad tell me, has he gone alone? Never harsh word did I speak, never hurt I gave; Strong he was and beautiful; like a heron he has flown Hereaway, hereaway will I make my grave.
"Whereaway are they now?" muttered Barry, and looked back again. A great distance behind, hardly distinguishable now, the dust of the posse was blending into the landscape and losing itself against a gray background.

"Whereaway?" sternly demanded Captain Truck; for the sudden and unexpected appearance of this dangerous coast had awakened all that was forbidding and severe in the temperament of the old master; "whereaway, sir?"
The little town, situated whereaway it does not particularly matter, and whose name is a palindrome, is one of the oldest and most old-fashioned in Australia.
And when John Paul and my man were divested of their plumes, we were marched downstairs and out through a jeering line of people to a hackney coach. "Now, sirs, whereaway?" said the bailiff when we were got in beside one of his men, and burning with the shame of it; "to the prison? Or I has a very pleasant hotel for gentlemen in Castle Yard."
An instant later she gave it to him. Now his face was clear and his eyes smiled kindly at her. "'Whereaway, hereaway' is a wonderful song," he said. "We used to sing it when I was a boy and after, and after. It's an old song old as the hills. Well, thanks, Kitty Tynan. What a girl you are to be so kind to a fellow like me!"
"Father," he cried, his eyes flashing with excitement, "there's a brig on the sands, and they are going to launch the new lifeboat!" "Whereaway is't, lad?" asked Boyns, as he buttoned up his coat. "To lee'ard of the breakwater." "Oh Harry, don't be too venturesome," cried Mrs Boyns earnestly, as her strapping boy was about to follow his father out into the pelting storm.
