Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pastels From the Pacific As a result of the urgency of certain problems in the South Seas and Papua it became my duty, with my friends A. J. Viner and G. J. Williams, to spend the best part of a year in a tour of investigation through the Western Pacific. In hours of leisure, none too common, I was able to make a few sketches in pastel of the places we visited. Amateurish as they are, they show scenes rarely visited, and still more rarely reproduced in colour, and may perhaps help distantly to convey some idea of the extraordinary charm of the islands and the long, lovely Papuan coast. One of the line drawings (p. 168) is based on a photograph by W. J. Saville. The designs on the front cover were obtained by C. W. Abel from a Papuan near Kwato, and were handed on by him to Messrs. Whitten Brothers, of Samarai, who have had waist-cloths printed from them. Once offered the choice, the native gladly forsakes European patterns (many of them anything but artistic) for the typical lines of his traditional ornament. It is a pity that trade does not more often give such aid to beauty. As to the book itself, that, too, is a series of pastels, hasty impressionist sketches in words. I have sought to give the shadows honestly, for only so could I bring out the lights. Some may feel that I have emphasized the missionary side too much. Others may think that the book is too detached and prone to criticism. I can only say that I have tried to tell of things as I saw them.
