Summary "Old Junk" by H. M. Tomlinson is a collection of travel sketches and essays written in the early 20th century. Composed of various pieces originally published between 1907 and 1918, the work reflects on the author's experiences during his travels, including his reflections on the places and people he encounters. Through these sketches, Tomlinson captures the beauty and complexity of the world, often intertwining observations on nature with profound human insights. The opening of "Old Junk" introduces the character of an unnamed narrator aboard the small steamship "Celestine", bound for the North African coast. Amid the chaos of departure, the narrator conveys a sense of adventure tinged with indifference concerning the destination, highlighting a desire for discovery over purpose. As the "Celestine" navigates the turbulent seas, the narrator's thoughts transition between the ship's journey, the lively interactions with the crew, and his reflections on the stark beauty of the landscape slipping away into darkness. With vivid imagery and a contemplative tone, the beginning sets the stage for a journey that reflects both the physical and existential aspects of travel.
