A close friend of Conrad's, the Scot also helped with research for Nostromo (1904). 'The Prince of Preface Writers,' according to G. K. Chesterton, here Cunninghame Graham concludes: "There is a fountain in Marrakesh with a palm tree near it, a gem of Moorish art, with tiles as iridescent as the scales upon a lizard's back.
