A transoceanic treasure hunt is a new sort of theme for Author Priestley but it is well suited to his fondness for sketching minor characters. Faraway is as full of them as a suburban telephone directory. William Dursley has three traveling companions: a retired naval officer who is curt and frosty; a bouncing, beaming Lancashireman named Ramsbottom; a U. S. girl of the type who "lets one down." He is bothered by a mysterious South American named Garsuvin, by a chorus of wiggling Tahitian girls...
