William Heinemann, London 1924 'Tusitalia' Edition. The voyages which supplied the occasion and the material for this work were three in number, viz.: one of seven months (June 1888 to January 1889), in the yacht Gasco, from San Francisco to the Marquesas, the Paumotus, Tahiti, and thence northwards to Hawaii; a second (June to December 1889), in the trading schooner Equator, from Honolulu, the Hawaiian capital (where the author had stayed in the interval), to the Gilberts and thence to Samoa; and a third (April to September 1890), in the trading steamer Janet Nicoll, which set out from Sydney and followed a very devious course, extending as far as from Penrhyn in the Eastern to the Marshall Islands in the Western Pacific. The course of these several voyages can easily be traced on the coloured map which serves as frontispiece to this volume. Blue cloth covered end boards with facsimile signatur of the author to front blue cloth covered end boars. Mild sunning to spine and some soiling. 331pp. 167 x 105mm
