Excerpt from Java and Her Neighbours: A Traveller's Notes in Java, Celebes, the Moluccas and Sumatra

HE Dutch East Indies, despite their excep tional natural attractions, and the safety and comfort with which they may be visited today, are still comparatively unknown to the world of travellers and to the greater world of stay-at homes. Java alone, of all the islands, has become to any appreciable extent the resort of English or American tourists or pleasure-seekers. The only comparatively recent books in English that nar rate actual travel experiences in the Dutch Indies have confined their attentions to Java, where the conditions described have already changed con siderably for the better. It is for these reasons that I have ventured to write up in the following pages the notes of my three months' wanderings in Java, Celebes, the Moluccas, and Sumatra, in the hope that they inay prove of use to some at least of the ever-increasing army of travellers and of interest to others who by preference or of necessity do their travelling by proxy.
