Foreword

The publication of the following narrative of Dr. Walter T.
Goodwin has been authorized by the Executive Council of
the International Association of Science.

First:

To end officially what is beginning to be called the
Throckmartin Mystery and to kill the innuendo and
scandalous suspicions which have threatened to stain the
reputations of Dr. David Throckmartin, his youthful wife,
and equally youthful associate Dr. Charles Stanton ever
since a tardy despatch from Melbourne, Australia,
reported the disappearance of the first from a ship sailing
to that port,and the subsequent reports of the
disappearance of his wife and associate from the camp of
their expedition in the Caroline Islands.

Because the Executive Council have concluded that
's experiences in his wholly heroic effort to
save the three, and the lessons and warnings within those
experiences, are too important to humanity as a whole to
be hidden away in scientific papers understandable only to
the technically educated; or to be presented through the
newspaper press in the abridged and fragmentary form
which the space limitations of that vehicle make necessary.

For these reasons the Executive missioned
Mr. A. Merritt to transcribe into form to be readily
understood by the layman the stenographic notes of Dr.
Goodwin's own report to the Council, supplemented by
further oral reminiscences ments by Dr. Goodwin;
this transcription, edited and censored by the Executive
Council of the Association, forms the contents of this
book.
