Abstract
(1) THIS work has originated in the desire of its author to make some public statement of indebtedness. It is, as it were, a memorial laid upon an altar. Dr. Cornish, in his researches, has dealt with phenomena that are: cosmic rather than humane; yet we now perceive them set against a background, old as that of the cave-dwellers, where accomplishment is due to the fact that man does not live his life alone. Whether their vessel is rolling fifty-six degrees in the Bay of Biscay, or nearing Ceylon in incenseladen air, whether they are walking in the symbolic garden of the Shogun, or in the shattered streets of Kingston, the essential feature is that the travellers are together. The form adopted as a title merely adds emphasis to this impression.
