TRAVELS IN GOOD COMPANY
THE FOUR CORNERS OF NEW ZEALAND, by A. H. Reed; A. H. & A, W. Reed, 25/- ‘] HIS is an omnibus volume carrying the separately published and already noticed stories of Mr. Reed’s travels on foot to and about the North, South, East and West points of our coastline. As I read, and looked at the maps and the fine photographic illustrations, I found myself travelling comfortablywithout aching shoulders: or empty stomach or tender feet-with this amiable wayfarer, listening to his stories of the early history of places and people, and to his lay sermons, and profiting in many ways from his enormous capacity for making friends. The most remarkable of these trips is the journey, in company with nephew A. W. Reed, "further West’’-from the West arm of Lake Manapouri, over the Murrell Pass (3500 ft.), to Dusky Sound. But for a man of 74 years this arduous walk was, stirely, valorous rather than
discreet.
