by James Norman Hall and Charles Bernard Nordhoff
Following the Great War and finding themselves in Paris, Nordhoff and Hall decide that the adventues is not yet over. Let them tell it. "I don't remember when it was that Nordhoff and I first talked of this adventure. The idea had grown upon us, one might say, with the gradual splendor of a tropical sunrise. We were far removed from the tropics at that time. We were, in fact in Paris and had behind us the greatest adventure we shall ever know. On the Place de la Concorde and along the Champs-Élysées stood rank on rank of German cannon, silent enough now, but still menacing, their muzzles tilted skyward at that ominous slant one came to know so well". They end up voyaging among the islands of the Pacific on the trading schooners, learning of the people, the customs and the seas. All those who would cruis these waters should know something of the history of these waters.
