John Hendricks was bear-leading at the time. He had originally studied for Holy Orders; but had abandoned the Church later for private reasons connected with his faith; and had taken to teaching and tutoring instead. He was an honest; upstanding fellow of five-and-thirty; incorruptible; intelligent in a simple; straightforward way. He played games with his head; more than most Englishmen do; but he went through life without much calculation. He had qualities that made boys like and respect him; he won their confidence. Poor; proud; ambitious; he realised that fate offered him a chance when the Secretary of State for Scotland asked him if he would give up his other pupils for a year and take his son; Lord Ernie; round the world upon an educational trip that might make a man of him.

Incredible Adventures is a collection by Algernon Blackwood, comprising four novellas and a story. It was originally published by Macmillan in 1914. H. P. Lovecraft wrote that:In the volume titled Incredible Adventures occur some of the finest tales which the author has yet produced, leading the fancy to wild rites on nocturnal hills, to secret and terrible aspects lurking behind stolid scenes, and to unimaginable vaults of mystery below the sands and pyramids of Egypt; all with a serious finesse and delicacy that convince where a cruder or lighter treatment would merely amuse. Some of these accounts are hardly stories at all, but rather studies in elusive impressions and half-remembered snatches of dream. Plot is everywhere negligible, and atmosphere reigns untrammelled.More recently, S. T. Joshi has acclaimed Incredible Adventures as possibly "the premier weird collection of this or any other century".The book contains the following stories, all novella-length except for "Wayfarers":"The Regeneration of Lord Ernie""The Sacrifice""The Damned""A Descent into Egypt""Wayfarers"
