Notebook

Shortly after this article had gone to press, Robert Langdon told PIM that another of James Lyle Young’s notebooks had been found by his son, Mr. Walter L.

Young. The notebook gives a summary of all of Young’s voy ages in the Pacific from 1882 to 1911.

Young’s newly - discovered notebook reveals that he made nearly 100 sea voyages in the 30 years from 1882 to 1911, and that in the course of them he visited almost every island in the Eastern Pacific.

Details of the voyages are generally brief and statistical, but occasionally there is a hint of drama.
