Excerpt from Pioneering in the Far East: And Journeys to California in 1849 and to the White Sea in 1878 The experiences of a life spent in mercantile adven tures hardly seem to contain sufficient interest to warrant their being made the subject of a book. Neither training nor acquirements had qualified me to be a scientific recorder of the wonders of the Eastern Archipelago, and I have not attempted to figure as such, but have merely tried to put down, as simply as possible, some account of five and twenty years spent among its islands: Yet I venture to hope that the story of my life will not be devoid of some information, and there are two topics on which I can claim to speak with an intimate know ledge, and on one of which I feel bound to record my testimony.
