Description
Tomlinson, by then famous for The Sea and the Jungle, published Tide Marks in 1924. The book records a journey to the beaches of the Moluccas and the forest of Malaya in 1923. Kerr Eby drew its illustrations. All was quiet again, except for the flames, says the front picture, quoting page eighty.
His pictures list a group of Chinese firemen, Port Said as more west than east, and the old and new on the Suez Canal. A jinrickshaw morning in Singapore and an empty road with a bullock cart carry the journey east. Tomlinson's travel writing keeps a sailor's patience: harbors first, then roads, then the forest edge, and everything noted as a tide leaves it.
