TheCruise of the Kawa
ByDr. Walter E. Traprock,F. R. S. S. E. U.
A delicious literary burlesque—superlatively amusing. Here are found thewak-wak, that horrid super-seamonster; the gallantfatu-livabirds who lay square eggs; the flowinghoopabowl, and the sensuousnabiscusplant; the tantalizing, tatooing, fabulous folk music; the beautiful, trusting Filbertine women and their quaint marriage customs, as well as the dread results of the white man’s coming—all described with a frank freedom, literary charm, and meticulous regard for truth which is delightful.The Cruise of the Kawa stands unique among the literature of modern exploration. Nothing like it has ever come out of the South Seas. It isthetravel book of years. Strikingly illustrated, too, from special photographs, it tells pictorially, as well as verbally, the exciting, amusing, and entertaining story of an exploration in the South Seas.G. P.
