Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Work and Adventure in New Guinea
At some remote period of the past, New Guinea, in all probability, formed a part of Australia. Torres Strait itself is only about sixty miles wide; the water is shallow, shoals and reefs abound; giving the sailor who threads the intricate and dangerous navigation the impression that he is sailing over what was once solid earth.
