"The Boy Travellers in the Far East, Part Third" by Thomas Wallace Knox is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century.

The story aims to provide detailed insights into the cultures, landscapes, and experiences of these exotic regions, highlighting both the historical aspects and personal adventures of the characters. The opening of this volume sets the stage for Frank and Fred's adventures as they prepare to leave Java for Borneo and the Philippines. The boys, accompanied by their mentor, Doctor Bronson, are eager to explore, and their excitement is palpable as they discuss their upcoming journey. With the Doctor's introduction of a newspaper advertisement that leads them to book passage on the steamer "Osprey", the narrative unfolds as they set sail and begin to discover the beauty and complexities of the places they visit. In their initial interactions, the boys engage with vibrant local life, catching glimpses of unique customs and the intricate ecosystems of the regions they are traveling through, foreshadowing a wealth of educational exploration ahead.
