Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketchy Pages of Foreign Travel Even in this day of superior facilities for the tourist, comparatively few of our people go abroad; and most of those who do travel appear to have no higher motive than self-gratification. True benefactors of the reading world are the select minority of travelers who study every thing from the best point of view, and faithfully chronicle the results in available form. To this honorable class, whose mission it is to please and instruct mankind, our author, Dr. Young, pre-eminently belongs. His tour of the far East, some years ago, was described with master-touch in his "Twenty Thousand Miles;" but this account of his recent eight months' excursion through Europe, when the experiences were altogether different and more stimulating, will give him a clearer title to the high rank we have assigned him. It is indeed a charming record of travel, and by him happily styled "Sketchy Pages." The auspicious sojourn in England and France, and the leisurely passage into Italy, Spain, Germany, Russia, Turkey, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, etc., afforded "sketchy" material without limit for this always cheery compagnon de voyage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes of Foreign Travel I could not find my sparrow anywhere on deck this morning, and was told that quite likely, as often happens, he had flown too far from the steamer, and could not get back. There is only a moderate swell of the ocean, imparting no more than a slight motion to the huge steamer. After comparatively clearing away, the fog will gather with wonderful celerity, and the dismal fog-horn sounded all night, much to our disturbance, as our rooms are on the promenade-deck, with port-holes open, for it has come off warm. The sea roughened toward night, and the crests of the swells show white with foam all about. Still, the only motion of the steamer is a slow roll, just enough to affect a few of the most sensitive passengers. May 4. - Warm, with very little sea, and the fog quite gone. The run was four hundred and thirty-three miles, so that, under the most favorable circumstances, the steamer is not doing as well as was expected. The machinery is said not to be working well at all points. Now, at 4 p.m., the sun is out almost for the first time since the first half day, and the sky is not all clear from clouds.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes and Incidents of Domestic and Foreign Travel: With Sketches in Natural History, and Poetical Selections He consulted the opinions of old authors and travel lers. He also made inquiry with respect to all the ih dications of land. One navigator, when four hundred leagues west from Cape St. Vincent, had taken from the water a piece of carved wood, which evidently had not been wrought with an iron instrument. As the winds had drifted it from the west, it might have come from some unknown land in that direction. Pedro correa, his brother-in-law, told him that after a course of westerly winds, immense reeds were seen on the island of Porto Santo. Also pine-trees were wafted to the shores of the Azores; and, on one occasion, the dead bodies of two men were cast upon the Island of Flores, whose features differed from those of any known race of people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Trip Abroad Our family party, consisting of my husband, myself and three small children, with two caretakers, left Walpole. New Hampshire, on the afternoon of January 27th for Boston and, two days later - January 29, 1910 - we sailed from that port on the S. S. Cretic, White Star Line, for Naples. It was our first trip abroad, and we were all filled with excitement over the novel experience. After the excitement of getting on shipboard and being located in our various state-rooms, the next thing that interested us most was getting our mail. I was, indeed, most fortunate; for my steamer letters numbered twenty-one and, by proxy, I had with me every member of my family, as well as letters from many friends and others who had sent us beautiful flowers, books and boxes of candy, to enjoy, if conditions permitted, during our voyage. Our first really thrilling experience occurred just after boarding the steamer. Little William Bradley, in his desire to explore the steamer, had wandered off and completely disappeared from us all, and no one knew where he was. Pandemonium reigned and our consternation was indeed great; for any moment our steamer was ready to sail, and we did not know whether the little fellow was on shipboard or not. I was so afraid he had wandered off the boat in the confusion of so great a crowd. We were all about frantic, and each one started off in a different direction to search for our missing boy.
