Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wanderings in the Orient
The trip across the Pacific is of course a long one, but the journey is interrupted. Before the end of the first week. By a stop at that tropical paradise. The Hawaiian Islands.
If one should need a complete rest. This seven thousand mile voyage is just the thing. If he desire he may read or study to good advantage. If inclined to sea-sickness there is plenty of time to recover and still enjoy the greater part of the journey. The distances between stopping places are often great one feels that he can do a place in much less time than it would take in Europe. Where objects of historic and other interest are so crowded together. If interested in the work of foreign missions abundant Opportunity offers for their study at first hand.
It was chie?y during these journeys between stopping places that the following sketches were written. As a sort of diary or log. Illustrated by photographs taken by the writer.
