Frank and Fred, with their guide Doctor Bronson, sail from San Francisco to the Sandwich Islands, the Marquesas, Tahiti, Samoa and Fiji, and then on to Australia and New Zealand. Along the way they learn about volcanoes, island customs, missionaries, gold-fields, sheep stations and the great rabbit plague, in a mixture of story and geography.
