AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Looking reflectively over this second instalment of my autobiography, I perceive that I am such a genuine vagabond that I have even travelled along in my reminiscences without caring for the material niceties of recognised literary method; so I have gone back over the whole track and tried earnestly to polish my efforts...I hope to follow this volume with another one, wherein I shall tell of my life when I settled for a while among civilised peoples and became respectable, and my serious troubles commenced.' - from the author's Foreword.

Notes

  • Dedication: To the memory of my dear comrade Omar whom I buried in the Australian bush Northern Queensland. Also to D. Raeltoa of Samoa and to my memories of melody and mirth in the South Seas.
