PREFACE
This pamphlet is the record of impressions jotted down day by day during the cruise. It is written chiefly for the use of the individual in search of health, change, and sunshine. Most of the photographs were taken with a quick-focussing Kodak, but a few weren kindly lent by Mr. JACOB, a fellow-tourist. The diagrams were drawn by Mr. E. R. NIXEY, and the medal of Portobello was given by a friend, Mr. F. H. OATES.

Later we shall mention those conditions, either of disease or its sequels, which appear to indicate a voyage of this kind ; but, for the present, we shall assume that the invalid or tourist has decided to take the trip, and is anxious to obtain information as to the route and company to select.
The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company (18 Moorgate Street, E.C.) offer several West Indian tours, at the commencement of the year, and the tourist should communicate with them. Many people, however, have never made long trips on the ocean and know next to nothing of the ........................
