This article presents several books. "East by Day," by Blair Niles. This novel resurrects a little-known historical episode of the 1840's: the strange case of the slave schooner Amistad, whose human cargo rebelled and thus became the vortex of an international legal scramble. "Journey to the World's End," by Hakon Mielche. Apparently the author of this volume is a professional traveler who goes to strange places for the purpose of writing about them. His resemblance to the late Richard Halliburton stops short. He is realistic, genially tough-minded, and as entertaining a companion as one could wish.
