Writing as the explorer Walter E. Traprock, Chappell sends the yawl Kawa out through the Golden Gate under Captain Ezra Triplett to discover a new archipelago in the South Pacific. There the crew find islanders with strange customs, take local wives, and pave a road to the lagoon with coconuts, all reported in the solemn style of the bestselling South Seas memoirs of the day.
