Excerpt from The Legend of the Falls of the Spray of Pearls Norman promised again to write from every con venient mailing place and instructed her that, failing to hear from him in the length of time agreed upon, she should start out and follow the route which he had mapped out, but to be sure and not start until the agreed time had elapsed. So when goodbyes were said and Norman had sailed away on the big Atlantic steamer, Pearl began to feel very lonely until she received Norman's first letter, mailed in mid-ocean, transferred from one steamer to another. Then came many letters describing his journey from place to place. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
