SCENTED ISLES AND
CORAL GARDENS
TORRES STRAITS, GERMAN NEW GUINEA
AND THE DUTCH EAST INDIES
BY C. D. MACKELLAR
AUTHOR OF "A PLEASURE PILGRIM IN SOUTH AMERICA"
"I am haunted by numberless islands, and many a Danaan shore,
Where Time would surely forget us, and Sorrow come near us no more;
Soon far from the rose and the lily, and fret of the flames we would be,
Were we only white birds, my beloved, buoyed out on the foam of the sea!"
W. B. Yeats
LONDON
