The document’s opening introduces the world and then structures play around a Part I focus: early settlement life, darker periods, convict sub-eras, major settlements, and communications with the “civilised world.” It prepares readers with colony investigation fundamentals before moving into case work, characters, skills, and thematic guidance for later parts of the book.","The Ballad of Jim Jones at Botany Bay  \nCome gather round and listen lads, and hear me tell m’ tale,  \nHow across the seafrom England I was condemned to sail.  \nThe jury found me guilty, and then says the judge, says he, Oh for life, Jim Jones, I’m sending you across the stormy sea.  \nBut take a tip before you ship to join the iron gang,  \nDon’t get too gay in Botany Bay, or else you’ll surely hang.  \nOr else you’ll surely hang, he says, and after that, Jim Jones,  \nWay up high upon yon gallows tree, the crows will pick your bones.  \nOur ship was high upon the seas when pirates came along,  \nBut the soldiers on our convict ship were full five hundred strong;  \nThey opened fire and so they drove that pirate ship away  \nBut I’d rather joined that pirate ship than gone to Botany Bay.  \nWith the storms a-raging round us, and the winds a-blowing gales I’d rather drowned in misery than gone to New South Wales.  \nThere’s no time for mischief there, remember that, they say  \nOh they’ll flog the poaching out of you down there in Botany Bay.  \nDay and night in irons clad we like poor galley slaves  \nWill toil and toil our lives away to fill dishonoured graves;  \nBut by and by I’ll slip m’ chains and to the bush I’ll go  \nAnd I’ll join the brave bushrangers there, Jack Donahue and Co.  \nAnd some dark night all is right and quiet in the town,  \nI’ll get the bastards one and all, I’ll gun the floggers down.  \nI’ll give them all a little treat, remember what I say  \nAnd they’ll yet regret they sent Jim Jones in chains to Botany Bay.  \n(Traditional folk song c.1830, first published in 1907; recorded numerous times notably by Bob Dylan in 1992 and for the 2015 Quentin Tarantino movie “The Hateful Eight”)  \nClear Credit  \nThis majority of Convicts & Cthulhu was written as a collaborative effort between Geoff Gillan and Dean Engelhardt.
