These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside South-Sea Idyls: Look inside the book: But the wind-dried and sunburnt grass under foot, the intangible dust that pervades the air, the rain-cloud in the distance, trailing its banners of crape in the sea as it bears down upon us, -these are what fret me a little, and make life a burden for the time being; so I spur my faithless Hoke up a new ascent as forbidding as any that we have yet come upon, and slowly and with many pauses creep to the summit. ...When the prayer was over I walked to the gate of the chapel-yard, leading the willing Hoke, and at that moment a slender figure, clad all in black, his long robes flowing gracefully about him, his boyish face heightening the effect of his grave and serene demeanor, his thin, sensitive hands held forth in hearty welcome, -a welcome that was almost like a benediction, so spiritual was the love which it expressed, -came out, and I found myself in the244 arms of Pere Fidelis, feeling like one who has at least been permitted to kneel upon the threshold of his Mecca. About Charles Warren Stoddard, the Author: Several times he visited Molokai, and became well acquainted with Father Damien, the Apostle to the Lepers, and a Catholic saint as of 2009, and wrote his interesting little book, The Lepers of Molokai, which, with Stevenson's famous letter, did much to establish Father Damien's true position in public esteem. ...Besides the books already mentioned he wrote: Summer Cruising in the south Seas (1874); Marshallah, a Flight into Egypt (1885); A Trip to Hawaii (1885); In the Footprints of the Padres (1892); Hawaiian Life (1894); Saint Anthony, The Wonder-Worker of Padua (1896); A Cruise under the Crescent (1898); Over the Rocky Mountains to Alaska (1899); Father Damien, a Sketch (1903); With Staff and Scrip (1904); Hither and Yon; The Confessions of a Reformed Poet (1907); The Dream Lady (1907).

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from My South Sea Sweetheart Luke, at this, raised his head from the arrow he was shaping by the firelight. (we always used a driftwood fire by night, since the main hall of the cave was never warm.) I saw his blue eyes glitter under their heavily carved brow arches. Boy though he was, he had a masculine face, in nothing at all like the small, pointed countenance, with the dark eyes and delicate forehead, that met me every morning in my glass. Certainly Mark was fond of the boy's mother, said the old, old man in the corner of the cave. She spent his fortune and more. But we won't discuss her before the boy.

Book Description
Excerpt from South Sea Yarns In the great bure of Raiyawa there was a story-telling. The lying-places filled three sides of the house - mats spread upon grass four feet wide, - and between each lying-place was a narrow strip of bare earth sprinkled with wood-ashes, on which three logs, nose to nose, were smouldering. A thin curl of blue smoke wreathed upwards from each to the conical roof, where they met and filtered through the blackened thatch; so that from outside the bure looked like a disembowelled haystack smouldering, ready to burst into flame. On the fourth side was a low doorway, stopped with a thick fringe of dried rushes, through which ever and anon a grey-headed elder burst head-foremost, after coughing and spitting outside to announce his arrival.

Book Description
Excerpt from South Sea Settlers Much has been written about the South Sea Islands. Most of it consists of the romantic vapourings of young men, Who talk only of the wonderfully beautiful women and the lotus-eating life led by the entire population or else it consists of spiteful and scandalous stories of those people who were the kindest and most hospitable to the authors. Feeling, therefore, that the time has come to write of the islands from the point of View of people who lead an everyday existence in them, We have given a true account of our own experiences there. There is so much charm and beauty that, to our minds, there is no need to try to enhance it by regarding native girls - at whom one would not look twice if they had white skins - as creatures of celestial beauty. If there were not a native left in the islands, their charm would remain the same. It lies in the peace that envelops these lazy lands, where Nature is at her most smiling, and where she has given only of her best: she has kept her evil beasts for less fortunate climes. These are lovely islands, set in a calm blue sea, while, overhead, soft white clouds chase one another across the sky and temper the heat of the tropical.
