SOME EXPERIENCES OF 



A NEW GUINEA 

 RESIDENT MAGISTRATE 



By CAPT. C. A. W. MONCKTON 



F.R.G.S., F.Z.S., F.R.A.I. 



With numerous Illustrations. 

 FOURTH EDITION. Demy 8vo. 21s. net. 



" One of the most entertaining books of its kind that we have 

 ever read. Captain Monckton is a born storyteller, and weaves a 

 singularly frank and amusing narrative of his doings. We trust 

 that he will fulfil his promise to write another volume, for he 

 evidently has a great deal more to say about New Guinea and its 

 strange people." Spectator. 



" He was his own surveyor, surgeon, blacksmith, gaoler, and 

 undertaker ; he had to perform marriages, and sail crazy ships up 

 and down a reef-studded, shark-haunted coast, and baffle sorcerers 

 usually with some devilment a bit more scientific than their own. 

 For his tales and adventures readers must go to the book, they 

 are too many and various to be summarized, and the verve of 

 of the telling is half the point." Times.
