| Summary | "Missing Friends" by Thorvald Peter Ludwig Weitemeyer is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative focuses on the experiences of a Danish emigrant who leaves Copenhagen for Queensland, Australia, detailing the challenges and adventures he encounters. The protagonist's journey reflects themes of independence, familial love, and the struggles faced by immigrants in a new land. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces himself, recounting his restrictive upbringing under a strict father in Copenhagen. The longing for freedom compels him to run away, leading to his eventual journey to Queensland via Hamburg. The early chapters vividly describe his experiences aboard an immigrant ship filled with various nationalities, the harsh conditions they endure, and the camaraderie formed among the travelers. The protagonist expresses humor and insight as he navigates his new reality, aware of the challenges yet filled with hope for the future in a land that promises opportunity and adventure.
