FIJI-NEW ZEALAND EXPEDITION 11 
To the four members of the Fiji party already mentioned 
we added Mr. Waldo Glock, graduate student in geology, a 
particularily promising young man, who had already shown ex- 
ceptional ability in research, and Mrs. Dayton Stoner who had 
accompanied her husband to Barbados and proved a very effi- 
cient collector of insects. She also agreed to attend to the com- 
missary. 
Thus we had a party made up entirely of specialists, each able 
to take complete responsibility for his particular field of work. 
There is one slight drawback, however, that seems inevitable. 
With six independent specialists, each full of enthusiasm for 
his own field of research, it is sometimes difficult to bring about 
the coordination, or team work, so essential to success. But 
the net result was good, and the scientific results, as will appear 
in the special reports were much more satisfactory than would 
have been possible with inexperienced persons, however en- 
thusiastic and energetic. 
Upon looking up the matter of transportation, through Pro- 
fessor Thomas, who acted as our traveling agent, we found to 
our surprise and gratification that our trip could be extended to 
New Zealand at no additional expense, so far as passenger fares 
were concerned; that a round trip ticket from Vancouver to 
Auckland, New Zealand, by way of Fiji, with stop-over privileges 
would cost just the same as to Fiji and return. We learned 
also that the Canadian-Australasian Royal Mail Line would 
transport us at so moderate a fare that it would cost no more 
to go from Iowa City to New Zealand via Vancouver, Honolulu, 
and Fiji and return to Iowa City, than one would have to pay 
for similar accommodations from Iowa City to England and 
back. 
It must be confessed that we were greatly intrigued by the 
idea of a visit to New Zealand, that wonderland of the Antip- 
odes. I had often indulged in day-dreams of this most an- 
cient of all islands but without hopes of the dreams ever be- 
Henderson is no longer with us. He was beloved by every member of the 
party of 1918; his wise counsel and never failing cheerfulness were the 
main-stay of its leader during the anxious times bound to be encountered by 
such a party in war-time. He also aided us very materially in a financial 
way, furnishing his launch, the ‘‘Eolis Jr.,’’ with its excellently devised 
equipment for dredging, together with his engineer, Greenlaw, free of all 
charge, even for transportation and gasolene. We shall never forget Hender- 
son nor cease to mourn his sudden and untimely death.
