Barnardo relates the life of an orphaned "Scotch Laddie" using his own words. The boy's life is traumatic, both parents dead, and the boy's leg is amputated above the knee through a cart wheel going over him. At thirteen and a half he was given a lift on a cart to Liverpool and afterwards begged his way to London where he was rescued by Dr. Barnardo.
