Excerpt from Forty Years on the Pacific: The Lure of the Great Ocean, a Book of Reference for the Traveler From sources of this sort I have refreshed my memory. In many cases I have received additional valuable details by talking with old friends whose travels have covered the same courses as my own. To these men - naval officers, ships' cap tains and Officers, engineers, island traders and others - I am deeply indebted. Furthermore, the chapters I give on tech nical topics, such as wireless, have been gone over by experts; and to these gentlemen I also wish to express my appreciation of their kindly assistance. For some of the illustrations I am indebted to the courtesy of various steamship and railroad companies, messrs.-baker-williams, the Honolulu Promotion Committee and to the Honolulu Photo Supply Company. One feature of the book many readers will get at once, and that is, they will find themselves suddenly transported from one scene to another without warning or preparation, but I hope it will not cause them any discomfort. Let them lay it to the habit of mind engendered in the Old traveler by his familiarity and indifference to thousands of miles. An old campaigner like myself thinks nothing of an eight-thou sand-mile jump. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
