Leisurely personal adventure in a 31-ton auxiliary ketch provides a novel travel book of a voyage from England to Greece. With his wife, George Millar purchased and outfitted the Truant; they crossed to France, cruised through the locks of the Seine, down to Marseilles; they went on to Anzio, Rome, Naples, Capri, and through storm waters to Greece. They experienced a period of vendetta in Athens, of quiet days in Poros.
