Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Jack London, Vol. 2 With war threatening to flare any moment between Japan and Russia, the San Francisco Examiner asked Jack London if he would be ready to jump out at call. Jack, near the close of his sea novel, sorely needing funds, held himself awaiting the summons. Finances he arranged so that regular payments would be made to his mother as well as to his children, with instructions to his Eastern publishers to stand prepared to advance any necessary further sums should his wife call for the same. Meanwhile the managing editor haled him to San Francisco, to sit for photographs against the day of featuring a sensational departure. The pictures were posed on the roof of the Examiner building, and portray a very lovable, very boyish, unmodish person, much tousled as to curls. Although hostilities had not yet been actually declared, Jack was dispatched on the S. S. Siberia. To Cloudesley, on January 7, he dashed off: "Sail to-day for Yokohama. Am going for Hearst. Could have gone for Harper´s, Collier´s, and N.Y. Herald - but Hearst made the best offer." Other newspapermen aboard were Captain Lionel James, London Times; Percival Phillips, London Daily Express; Sheldon Inglis Williams, artist for London Sphere; O. K. Davis, New York Herald; Frederick Palmer and R. L. Dunn, for Collier´s Weekly; and Collier´s veteran war photographer, James H. Hare.
