Excerpt from From Job to Job, Around the World

The pages that follow are an account of a three year trip I made around the world, starting from San Francisco with only a five-dollar gold piece and earning my way. My wanderings took me to Hawaii, Japan, Korea, China, the Philippines, Cey lon, India, Egypt, Palestine, Turkey, Europe, Eng land, Norway, Spitzbergen, Sweden, and finally across the Atlantic to America. I think the book covers a new field in travel narrative in that it shows that it is possible to work one's way around the world and do so with a considerable degree of comfort. In most instances I held good positions, met the rep resentative people of each country and travelled in moderate style. I, of course, had numerous hard ships and adventures, which I relate.
