During his time in Western Australia's penal system. After thirteen months in Western Australia, O'Reilly escaped the colony on board the American whaling ship <i>Gazelle</i>. He arrived in America in 1869 and settled in <a href="/wiki/Boston" title="Boston">Boston</a>, where he established himself as a respected journalist, newspaper editor, novelist and poet, and later helped orchestrate the 1876 <a href="/wiki/Catalpa_rescue" title="Catalpa rescue">Catalpa rescue</a> of six Fenian convicts from Western Australia. </p><p>Around the time O'Reilly was stationed in Bunbury in 1868, he had begun to hear about the exploits of convict Joseph Bolitho Johns aka <a href="/wiki/Moondyne_Joe" title="Moondyne Joe">Moondyne Joe</a>, who at that time was still on the run from authorities after escaping from Fremantle Prison in 1867. It has been rumoured that O'Reilly's subsequent escape in 1869 was partly due to inspiration from Johns' escape stories. A week after O'Reilly absconded from his convict camp in February, 1869, Johns was captured at the cellars for Houghton Winery in Perth, he was sent back to prison but was given a ticket of leave in 1871. </p><p>At the time when O'Reilly published <i>Moondyne,</i> Johns had just married Louisa Hearn in Fremantle and was prospecting for gold near <a href="/wiki/Southern_Cross,_Western_Australia" title="Southern Cross, Western Australia">Southern Cross</a>.

Joe uses his new-found wealth to return to England and become a respected humanitarian under the assumed name Wyville.

In the course of this he becomes involved in several subplots including the case of a young woman named Alice Walmsley who has been wrongly convicted of murdering her own child. Wyville/Moondyne succeeds in saving Alice from false imprisonment, helps to reform Western Australia's penal system, and achieves a number of other admirable ends before dying trying to save Alice and
