Description
For Jacinta is a novel by Harold Bindloss, copyright nineteen oh seven. Bindloss is billed as author of Alton of Somasco and Winston of the Prairie. Contents run to twenty five chapters. Early heads name Jacinta Brown and an overheated journal. A big contract and a tomato farm follow in the list.
Scenes at a bull fight and on a veranda place the tale in warm country. Later heads treat toil, nocturnal visitors, and elusive gum. Austin makes a venture and goes down river in the middle chapters. A front note explains a Spanish term for a ship's purser. Austin, an Englishman, serves on a Spanish steamer, it says. That steamer trades round the Canary Islands with mules, camels, tomatoes, and bananas.
