Excerpt from Recollections of a Savage In the beginning this was just a jumble of stories of the famous folk with whom I happened to have been brought in contact during the course of my career as a portrait painter. Also it included some Savage Club experiences - with a few words relative to travel in the Far East and British Columbia. Mr. Herbert Jenkins agreed to publish this, but he insisted upon much more material about the Savage Club, saying, "I have only been inside the Club on very few occasions, but I was deeply impressed by the type of man you meet there - workers every one of them - remarkable men who had made good in their various callings." He followed this by pages and pages of helpful suggestion and encouragement, adding, "I have had an inspiration: you must call it - "Recollections of a Savage." I was fortunate in finding a friend in my publisher. I was also lucky in my Pilot. When the words refused to arrange themselves, he helped me in the navigating of difficult passages, without Boyd Cable's experienced guidance my little ship might easily have failed to find her moorings.
