The Times.—“A pleasant surprise—it will bring pleasure to the readers delighted at last to find a work which leaves soldier-work and policies on one side and devotes itself to the discussion of what is nice in Macedonia instead of labouring to expose once again that which is nasty.”
JOHN LANE THE BODLEY HEAD LTD., VIGO ST., W.1
“The most thrilling volume of the year.”—Daily Mail.

“One of the most entertaining books of its kind that we have ever read. Captain Monckton is a born storyteller, and weaves a singularly frank and amusing narrative of his doings. We trust that he will fulfil his promise to write another volume, for he evidently has a great deal more to say about New Guinea and its strange people.”—Spectator.
“A book of entrancing interest for boys and their fathers. It is a plain tale and a true one, and is stranger than fiction; it is a riot of real adventures, an orgy of crocodiles and cannibals, of beautiful coral islands, of strange men and stranger beasts, and hair-raising happenings, all of which took place in those far-distant possessions of the British Empire, north of the coast of Queensland.”—Daily Mail.
