Book Description
Excerpt from Our Cruise to New Guinea The journal was written for his own private use, to be kept as a memento of a very pleasant cruise, but after it had been perused by a few friends, it was suggested to him that as it contained several facts about New Guinea that were little known, it might be interesting to the outside public as well as to ourselves. The author yielding to their request the book has been published, and this unambitious little account of how we established a Protectorate over New Guinea.
