Starting at St. John’s, Newfoundland, a well-connected Englishwoman and her husband travel through the Maritime Provinces and across Canada by the new transcontinental railway, over the Rockies and the Selkirks, and on by sea to Japan. From there they go to China, voyaging up the river from Tientsin towards Peking and the Forbidden City, and finally to French Cochin China.
