Stenie Bonsal got on just before she sailed, not as a correspondent, but as a magazine-writer for McClure's, who have given him a commission, and because he could act as interpreter. I left the flagship the morning of the day I arrived.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
