Summary: "Some Experiences of a New Guinea Resident Magistrate" by C. A. W. Monckton is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book shares the author's experiences as a resident magistrate in New Guinea, offering readers insights into the complexities of colonial life, the relationships with local populations, and the challenges faced in a largely uncharted territory. It encompasses Monckton's encounters with various characters, including traders, officials, and indigenous people, as well as his explorations and reflections on the landscape and culture of New Guinea. The opening of the narrative introduces Captain Monckton at the age of 23 as he embarks on his journey to New Guinea from Cooktown, Queensland. Accompanied by a fellow adventurer, he navigates to the island aboard the mail schooner "Myrtle", enduring the physical discomforts of sailing and the peculiar dynamics onboard. The preface sets the tone for the book, indicating that it is a personal recounting of his life and work, devoid of scientific pretensions but rich in anecdotal experiences. Monckton's initial observations establish a foundation for the ensuing stories about his dealings with the European traders and the indigenous population, alongside the harsh realities of life as a colonial officer.
