Paperback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from On the Coasts of Cathay and Cipango Forty Years Ago: A Record of Surveying Service in the China Yellow and Japan Seas and on the Seaboard of Korea and Manchuria As subsidiary to this history of the Acin'ou's voyage, it may perhaps interest landsmen to hear what a civilian officer, r.n., like myself has to say about life in the navy when I was afloat. Admirals and their brother officers, in regular descent down the whole gamut of the executive, have been giving their views in print, their opening pages, adorned with photographs of figure-heads resplendent with stars and medals; so the writer is but conforming to the custom of the service and following their evolutions by introducing his photograph, with the implements of his warfare against this ignorance of the Coast of Tartary. The illustrations, with but few exceptions, are by the facile and truthful brush of my accomplished brother officer, messmate, and dear friend, Frederic Le Breton Bedwell, himself a civilian officer, r.n., and also on the surveying staff of the Aela'on. To him I am greatly indebted for placing his sketches at my disposal. His photograph is side by Side with mine at the end of the volume.
