Excerpt from Kidnapping in the South Seas: Being a Narrative of a Three Months' Cruise of H. M. Ship Rosario The following pages are written with the sole object of exposing the deeds that have been perpetrated among the beautiful islands of the South Pacific, by men calling themselves Englishmen, and whose transactions have been invariably carried on under cover of our glorious old flag. Few have either time or inclination to wade through Parliamentary Blue-books, or unravel the mysteries of Royal Commissions and Select Committees, but should any of my readers have sufficient leisure to do so, they will find ample evidence to show that, although our Government has remonstrated against certain transactions that have for some time past disgraced our name and flag in those seas, the time has arrived when something more must be done.
