By Rolf Boldrewood.

"Robbery under Arms" by Rolf Boldrewood is a bushranger novel first published in serialized form between 1882 and 1883. Narrated by Dick Marston from his prison cell awaiting execution, the story follows his descent into crime alongside his brother Jim and the charismatic Captain Starlight, a nobleman-turned-outlaw.
