Six days later a ship’s boat plunges through the breakers containing six bodies, apparently dead from hunger and thirst—but one breathes, a woman. Face to face with the eternal impulses of life, these three souls, completely isolated from the civilized world, work out their destiny through the instincts and impulses of primitive man. A fantastic tale, yet real and plausible, thrilling in parts, and as whimsical as The City of Beautiful Nonsense.

The Beloved Sinner

Author of the “Fringe of the Desert,” “The Torch of Life,” and “Drifting Waters”

One of the very prettiest of springtime romances—a tale of exuberant young spirits intoxicated with the springtime of living, of love gone adventuring on the rough road—a story, humorous with the gay impudences of a young Eve who is half-afraid and altogether delighted with her fairy-prince.
