“The Cruise of a Schooner” by Albert W. Harris is a travelogue. The author had planned this trip in his mind so many times and in so many ways that the only new sensation was that now it would surely come true, but he kept on planning it annually for five years before he actually started on the trip itself, and then he started from the Pacific Ocean and drove east. The following account of this trip may be of sufficient interest to make it worth reading, at least, and if anyone who reads it feels more hopeful of finishing the building of the castles he is now engaged upon, it will have answered its purpose.
