Cat on the Island
HARDCOVER EXCELLENT CONDITION $12
(Minor wear and tear on the cover, inside pages like new)
It was raining outside, so I said: 'Gramps, tell me a story.'
This is the true story of David and his father, who came to Stephens Island - a remote and pristine island off Cook Strait between the North and South Islands of New Zealand in 1894. There they built a lighthouse to protect ships entering the strait. Oblivious of the potential damage to the environment, they chopped down the trees and ferns where the local birds sheltered, thereby demolishing their habitat. But worse than that, they brought their pregnant cat with them. The tiny Stephens Island wrens, being flightless, had no natural defences against the predators, and were wiped out in less than two years.
The event is cited as the only instance where one species has been directly responsible for the extinction of another. Of course, once they realised what had happened, conservation authorities began the official eradication of the cats, but by then the damage had been done.
In the Wake of the Mary Celeste
HARDCOVER EXCELLENT CONDITION $10
(X library book, minimal wear and tear on the cover, pages like new)

A young Ceylonese steward, Mutassa Clarke, rescued the girl, calling her "Quetta". But who was she? Her name and parental background were a mystery. Mutassa wanted to adopt her but so did the old ship's captain.

HARDCOVER EXCELLENT CONDITION $20 SOLD
(Contact has been removed from cover but the rest of the contact remains inside the cover, pages like new)
Rosie never liked Elias Churchill, and she liked him even less when he trapped the last tiger-wolf ever to be seen. Churchill didn t kill the tiger-wolf for its bounty he bundled it into a cage, scratched and bloody, and sent it by train to some unknown place. It was moaning and sad. It liked its freedom, Rosie could tell, just as much as her father had, before he died in the bush after being trapped under a log for three days. Then Rosie and her mother had to move to Hobart to work, but it was the Depression and it was hard, especially if you re from the country.
Thylacine was the proper name for a tiger-wolf, according to Alison Reid, the lady at Hobart Zoo whose father had died too. She said that this one may be the last in existence. It was Rosie s thylacine! The very one she saw that day on the train. But on September 7, 1936, it died. Was Rosie that last person to see the thylacine alive and free in the wild? Could she have done anything to save it being captured, saving all thylacines from extinction?
