Présentation de l'éditeur :
This book was originally part of the jottings I kept during a two years cruise of Jack London and myself in the forty-five-foot ketch Snark into the fabulous South Seas, by way of the Hawaiian I slands. The seafaring portion of my notes was published in 1915 as The Log of the Snark. The record of five months spent in the Paradise of the Pacific, Hawaii, I made into another book, Our Hawaii, issued in 1917. The present volume is a revision of the other, from which I have eliminated the bulk of personal memoirs, by now incorporated into my Book of Jack London, a thoroughgoing biography. I have substituted more detail concerning the Territory of Hawaii, and endeavored to bring my subject up to date. A lso, instead of making an independent work out of Jack London sthree articles, written in 1916, entitled, My Hawaiian A loha, I am making them a part of my book, placing them first, because of their peculiar value with regard to vital points of view on Hawaii. These articles, published in 1916 in The Cosmopolitan Magazine, were pronounced by one citizen of Honolulu, eminent under more than two forms of government in the troublous past of the Group, as of a worth to Hawaii not to be estimated in gold and silver. They dont know what theyve got! Jack London said of the American public, when, in the Snark, he made Hawaii his first port of call, and threw himself into the manifold beauty and wonder of this territory of Uncle Sam.

From the years of his youth the two names have been entwined in the minds of those who knew him best since that day when, bound for the Japan sealing grounds and Bering Sea on the Sophie Sutherland (his model for the schooner Ghost of The Sea Wolf ), he first glimpsed to northward the smoke and fire of Kilauea. Through successive visits, including eighteen months spent in the Islands during the last two years of his life, through early misunderstanding and final loving comprehension of him, Jack London and Hawaii have drawn together, with increasing devotion in his heart for A loha-land Love-land in his fashion of speech until at the end he could answer to the longdesired appellation, kamaaina, one-who-belongs, and more. They dont know what theyve got! he said of the American public, when, a decade ago, headed for the South Seas in his own small-boat voyage around the world, he sailed far out of his course that Hawaii might be the first port of call, and threw himself into learning the manifold beauty and wonder of this territory of Uncle Sam. And They dont know what theyve got, he repeated to each new unscrolling of its wonder and beauty during five months of enjoyment and study of land and people. A gain in Hawaii after the breaking out of the Great War, he amended: Because they have no other place to go, they are just beginning to realize what theyve
