Dear Dr. and Mrs. Alfred Barton, John Beaton, and Charles Seymour Grenfell,

These pages belong to you.

When I once more set foot in England, arriving in Liverpool on the 15th of September, 1891, by the White Star Company's steamer Majestic, after an absence of about three years' travelling - thus occupying about the same time as a certain other great man in the Endeavour, of 370 tons - one of my first recollections was, that when I left London on the morning of the 25th of October, 1888, you all came down to the Liverpool Street station to wave me off to the East with best wishes, and that I then promised to give you, on my return, my own account of my wanderings and wonderings.
