 The play was rewritten by Alfred Dampier (Rolfe's father in law), writing as "Adam Pierre".He set the play entirely in Australia, changed the hero from being the son of a Cornish mine owner to the son of a wealthy Australian station owner, added a fifth act, renamed the hero Captain Midnight instead of Captain Dart, and added a role for himself as an old bushman, Ned Harling (In the original Harling was a publican but only in a small part).The play ends with Edgar marrying Thelma, leaving Elsa alone.
