Abstract
MRS. ROUTLEDGE'S account deals with her most adventurous yachting cruise, with her husband, to Easter Island, the easternmost—i.e. the nearest to the American coast—of that great archipelago of innumerable islands which begins off the Australian coast and ends at this islet of stone images. A considerable number of the pages of the book are occupied by a vivid and rather unusually interesting travellers' story of places visited on the outward and homeward voyages, Patagonia and the islands of Juan Fernandez and Pitcairn among others; but it is to the much fuller account of Easter Island itself, occupying one hundred and seventy-six pages of the middle of the book, that we turn most eagerly.
