The Boy Travellers in Australasia Adventures of Two Youths in a Journey to the Sandwich, Marquesas, Society, Samoan, and Feejee Islands Produced by Annie R. McGuire "The Boy Travellers in Australasia" by Thomas Wallace Knox is a travelogue written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows two youths, Frank Bassett and Fred Bronson, who embark on an adventurous journey across the Pacific, exploring various islands and territories, including the Sandwich Islands, New Zealand, and parts of Australia. The book offers an engaging overview of their observations, experiences, and the fascinating cultures they encounter along the way. The opening of this travel narrative introduces the young explorers as they sail from San Francisco to Honolulu on the steamship Alameda. The excitement of nearing land fills the air as passengers rush to the bow of the ship to catch a glimpse of the Hawaiian Islands, leaving Frank and Fred unperturbed in their seats due to their previous travel experiences. Arriving in Honolulu, they are greeted by the town's beautiful harbor and a backdrop of volcanic mountains. Their initial explorations lead to a conversation encompassing the history, culture, and contemporary life of the Sandwich Islands, peppered with anecdotes about Captain Cook, local customs, and indigenous cuisine such as poi. Through their journey, the youths aim to capture and document the essence of Australasia, reflecting both the allure and complexities of the places they visit.
