The
Cruise of the Kawa
By
Dr. Walter E. Traprock,
F. R. S. S. E. U.
A delicious literary burlesque—superlatively amusing. Here are found the wak-wak, that horrid super-seamonster; the gallant fatu-liva birds who lay square eggs; the flowing hoopa bowl, and the sensuous nabiscus plant; the tantalizing, tatooing, fabulous folk music; the beautiful, trusting Filbertine women and their quaint marriage customs, as well as the dread results of the white man’s coming—all described with a frank freedom, literary charm, and meticulous regard for truth which is delightful.
The Cruise of the Kawa stands unique among the literature of modern exploration. Nothing like it has ever come out of the South Seas. It is the travel book of years. Strikingly illustrated, too, from special photographs, it tells pictorially, as well as verbally, the exciting, amusing, and entertaining story of an exploration in the South Seas.

My Northern
Exposure
The Kawa at the Pole
By
Walter E. Traprock
Similar in format to the famous Cruise of the Kawa, this new volume carries the reader on an exciting and riotously funny expedition to the frozen north. It is an account of the adventures of the redoubtable Dr. Traprock (and party) who set out to discover the real North Pole—but undertake their voyage in a most unusual manner. The incidents, accidents, and final discoveries in this merry burlesque are certain to afford as much, if, indeed, not more enjoyment than the first Kawa story.
