About This Book

A correspondent describes a forty-five-thousand-mile voyage aboard a battle-cruiser while accompanying the Prince on an imperial tour, visiting the Caribbean and Panama, California and Pacific island ports, New Zealand, Australia and other Australasian and West Indian regions. The account combines shipboard anecdotes and formal ceremonies with vivid street and rural scenes, notes on local industry and landscapes — wheat, goldfields, logging, sheep stations and the Nullarbor — and succinct reflections on Commonwealth affairs, presented as observational reportage accompanied by photographs and sketches of public pageantry and provincial life.
