Michael Magee is the father of a ten-year-old boy who has never been christened. Magee lives "On the outer Barcoo where the churches are few," and rarely sees a clergyman. By chance a priest passes by one day and he and Magee decide to christen the boy as soon as possible. The boy overhears the conversation, and, thinking that a "christening" is rather like the branding of cattle, decides to make a run for it. The priest chases after him but seeing that he has no chance of catching the runaway flings a flask of Maginnis's whisky which hits the boy on the head. Thereafter the boy is known as "Maginnis".〔
