Description: *SIX YEARS IN THE MALAY JUNGLE *By Carveth Wells *Signed by the author *First Edition *Published by Doubleday, Page & Company *1925 *Measures 9 1/4" x 6 1/4" with 278 pages *Illustrations from Photographs *Taken from the PREFACE: The Malay Jungle is an interesting place - to read about - but to be sent there for two years and to be forced to say there for six would try the temper and the constitution of most people. And that was what happened to Mr. Wells - sent there in 1913 to survey a route for a railway, he was by the fortunes of war kept there for six years, for like the eruptions of Krakatau the effects of the World War were felt around the globe, especially in British Possessions. Fortunately for Mr. Wells he possessed a stock of good nature, or philosophy, call it whichever you like, together with good powers of observation, and some of the things he saw and some of the things that happened he has told us in this book. Mr. Wells seems to take delight in so telling the truth that with Hamlet the reader will "doubt truth to be a liar," though naturally this is not so evident in his writing as in his lectures. *The condition of this 98-year-old hardcover book is good.
