David CARNEGIE (1871-1900)

Read ebooks by David Carnegie

Carnegie was the fourth son of the Earl of Suffolk, England. After education as an engineer, David Carnegie worked on tea 農園s in Ceylon, but joined the 急ぐ to Coolgardie when gold was discovered in Western Australia in 1892. Over a period of five years he prospected, and led several important 調査するing 探検隊／遠征隊s into some of Australia's most arid areas. After leaving Australia, Canegie was 任命するd Assistant 居住（者） in Nigeria where, at the age of twenty-nine, he died as a result of a 負傷させる （打撃，刑罰などを）与えるd by a 毒（薬） arrow. At the time he was 伴う／関わるd in 試みる／企てるing to stop a native 反乱.

In "Spinifex and Sand" Carnegie has this to say:

"Think of us, picture us, ye city 有力者／大事業家s, toiling and struggling that your capacious pockets may be filled by the fruits of our 労働: think of us, I say, and remember that our experiences are but as those of many more, and that hardly a 地雷, out of which you have made all the 利益（をあげる）, has been 設立する without 類似の hardships and 戦う／戦いs for life! Not a penny would you have made from the wealth of West Australia but for us prospectors--and what do we get for our 苦痛s? A 株 in the 明らかにする sale of the 地雷 if lucky; if not, God help us! for nothing but 悪口を言う／悪態s and （民事の）告訴s will be our 部分. The natural rejoinder to this is, "Why, then, do you go?" To which I can only answer that one must make a living somehow, and that some like to make money hard, and some to make it easily. Perhaps I belong to the former class."

"Spinifex and Sand" is not a 乾燥した，日照りの, daily 定期刊行物 but a remarkable account of 発見 and 生き残り in a most inhospitable part of the world.
