Excerpt from Across the Equator: A Holiday Trip in Java
It was at the end of the month of September, 1907, that the writer visited java with the object of spending a brief vacation there.
The outcome was a series of articles in the Straits Times, and after they appeared so many applications were made for reprints that we were encouraged to issue the articles in handy form for the information of those who intend to visit the neighbouring Dutch Colony. There was no pre tension to write an exhaustive guide-book to the Island, but the original articles were revised and amplified, and the chapters have been arranged to enable the visitor to follow a given route through the Island, from west to east, within the compass of a fortnight or three weeks.
