Excerpt from John Cameron's Odyssey My greatest difficulty has arisen from Captain Cam eron's failure to record more than a few precise dates. Too frequently, usually, in fact, he contents himself with some such Statement as this occurred thirty years ago. It soon became obvious to me that his arithmetic, though not necessarily his recollection, is often at fault. Such obscurities would have been clarified and deficiencies made good had he lived to review and correct my ver sion. Even before his death both of us worked against hindrances: he was in Japan, I was in Hawaii, we saw each Other for only a few weeks, and he spared me very few hours then. In these circumstances I have had to determine approximate dates by ascertaining when this vessel was wrecked, when that man died, when some other event occurred. Since this book does nor profess to be history, but is no more than one man's account of his own experiences, I believe that I have been successful enough in indicating time.
