This magazine was well founded by publisher George Newnes. Described as "an illustrated magazine of true narrative" with each month holding "true life" travel and experiences from around the world.
This one includes such stories as Terrible Experiences in the Artic- a whaling schooner is crushed by ice and its crew exists on moss and snow for a week; Amat Sik- hero of the Singapore Mutiny avenges the killing of his employer; My Dashes fro Freedom- Liet, E. H Garland's account of how he escaped from 12 German prison camps in WWI-- just a sampling of some of the articles in this magazine. This is an amazing piece of history to own.
