1913. Illustrations in color by Andre Castaigne and black and white by Arthur William Brown. The novel begins: It began somewhere in the middle of the world, between London which is the beginning and New York which is the end, where all things are east of the one and west of the other. To be precise, a forlorn landing on the west bank of the muddy turbulent Irrawaddy, remembered by man only so often as it was necessary for the flotilla boat to call for paddy, a visiting commissioner anxious to get away, or a family homeward-bound. Somewhere in the northeast was Mandalay, but lately known in romance, verse and song; somewhere in the southeast lay Prome, known only in guidebooks and timetables; and farther south, Rangoon, sister to Singapore, the halfway house of the derelicts of the world.
