About this ebook
A passenger steamer sailing north from a South American port in wartime is lost in the South Atlantic, and the survivors — passengers, crew, and a young man traveling under a false name because he is accused of a theft he did not commit — build a society on an uncharted island. McCutcheon invented Graustark and with it the whole American vogue for imaginary-kingdom romance; here he does the same trick without the kingdom. Fifty-nine plates, from Jack Spurling's clipper under full sail to fishing boats in Douglas Harbour, keep the sea and its harbours in view throughout.
