“This work is described by Miller as presenting ‘social and economic phases of life in mandated territories of the Northern Pacific and the sex-attitudes of whites and blacks’. The dedication and the author’s note suggest that it is a fictionalised re-telling of a diary kept by a Captain Tyarki. Whether this captain is an actual figure or a fictional persona is unclear.” (Auslit) This copy signed by the author to the title page.
