Station Amusements in New Zealand is a book written by Lady Barker, an English author who lived in New Zealand during the late 1800s. The book is a collection of short stories and anecdotes about life on rural stations in New Zealand, which were large farms that were often isolated from towns and cities. Lady Barker describes the various amusements and pastimes that station life offered, including hunting, fishing, horse riding, and social events such as dances and picnics. She also provides insights into the daily routines and challenges faced by station owners and their families, including the difficulties of managing large herds of sheep and cattle, dealing with harsh weather conditions, and coping with the occasional isolation and loneliness. Throughout the book, Lady Barker's writing is vivid and engaging, painting a picture of a unique and fascinating way of life in a rapidly changing country.I expected every moment to hear the revolver go off, but mercifully it did not do so; and as his thorny bed was hardly to be endured, F---soon kicked himself off it, and before I could realize that he was unhurt, had scrambled to his feet, and was rushing off, crying in school-boy glee, That will fetch him out That (the rock) certainly did fetch him (the pig) out in a moment, and Pincher availed himself of the general confusion to seize hold of his enemy's hind leg, which he never afterwards let go.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
