Excerpt from Some Recollections: With Illustrations IN this book it has been my endeavour to recall the circumstances of life in the Navy in the middle of the nineteenth century, and also to tell the reader something about the islands of the Western Pacific as they were before they attracted the attention of distinguished men of letters. In both cases the conditions dealt with in the following pages have more or less completely passed away. They have, as far as I am aware, been rarely recorded in detail by those Who could speak from personal knowledge of them; and it is hoped that this book will supple ment such accounts as are already in existence. An early portion of the work is devoted to what is purely family history, which, it is believed, will be considered suitable and becoming in a book that is meant to be an autobiographical narrative.
