Excerpt from Islands of the Southern Seas: Hawaii, Samoa, New Zealand, Tasmania, Australia, and Java We shall pause a moment at the grave of Steven son, and then go onward to that beautiful and most interesting, though but little known, land of New Zealand. Passing from end to end, we shall com pare its hot lakes and geysers with those in our Yellowstone, its snow-capped mountains and Fjords with Switzerland, Norway, and the trans-alai. We shall dwell awhile amidst the bustling life of the cities and shake hands with the Maoris, and then sail onward into the silence of far off seas, with none save the albatross to hear us company, until we reach that Eden, Tasmania, which rests like a jewel amid the league-long rollers of the Southern Ocean. We can have but a glimpse of the grand continent of Australia, the Never Never Land, but we shall take a long, long sail within the great Barrier Reefs among the fairy islands of the East Indian Archi pelago, and on to that glory of the tropics, Java.
