AUTHOR’S ‘ ‘PRO-LOG”: 
     
    
   
   
    
     from memory 
     
    
   
   
    
     In writing from memory this “LOG” of my “vagabond 
     
     journey” around the Island (a long time after the event) I have 
     
     missed much and many people, doubtless, and to my regret. Much 
     
     has been left unsaid, nevertheless a true picture of the people and 
     
    
   
   
    
     the events has been attempted. If I have been overly frank, I risk 
     
     being put down for my brashness — 
     
    
   
   
    
     He that is down, needs fear no fall. 
     
     He that is low, no pride: 
     
    
   
   
    
     As to the scenic pictures, sunrises and sunsets, along the way, 
     
    
   
   
    
     I leave it to my readers to “go see for themselves”. After all, what 
     
     one sees depends on “that inner eye” ~ 
     
    
   
   
    
     When each in his separate star 
     
     Shall draw the thing as he sees it 
     
     For the God of things as they are.” 
     
    
   
   
    
     Why did I ‘make the trip? In Maugham’s “The Moon and 
     
     Sixpence” the hero (villain) is driven by a daemon: “I’ve got to paint, 
     
    
   
   
    
     I’ve got to paint!” Perhaps something of the same sort of daemon 
     
     made me want to “create a picture”.
