This story of a voyage By Sail to the South Seas carries the reader to many ports and encounters with island inhabitants. With a crew of four, the Arthur Rogers made its way. Mr. Crealock tells of visits to the Galapagos, where the Baroness Affair and the great turtles made history; of a puberty celebration on San Blas; of Mangarevan hospitality. He describes the varying beauties of the Marquesas the Tuamotos, Tahiti. He looks to nature, to people, to history, to boat life for his subject matter. His concluding appendices give pointers on ship, supplies, etc.
