Way Elkington is a vivid account of the South Sea Islands, likely written in the early 20th century. This work combines historical narrative and ethnographic description, focusing on the islands of New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and the New Hebrides. The text explores the rich tapestry of indigenous cultures, their customs, and the landscape's allure, inviting readers to discover a seemingly untouched world filled with adventure and opportunity. The opening of the book sets the stage by discussing the historical context and colonial ambitions surrounding these islands. Elkington reflects on the various explorers and traders who ventured into these territories, highlighting the contrasts between the indigenous peoples and the European outsiders. The narrative introduces the geography, climate, and the unique architecture of native huts built on stilts, while also establishing the complexities of tribal relations and conflicts. With descriptions of the mesmerizing natural beauty and the fascinating, often perilous lifestyles of the islanders, Elkington captures the tension between civilization and savagery in this remote paradise.
