Beatrice Grimshaw, an Irish journalist who answered the call of the atlas, travels by schooner and steamer among the islands of the South Pacific. She writes of island rulers and traders, missionaries and beachcombers, a gale on the run to Niué with a chanting Maori crew, and the strange lure that holds Europeans to these shores once they have seen them.
