“A distinct achievement in the realm of fiction, and should add to the laurels the writer has already won. The theme is an old one—a man and a woman cast upon an uninhabited island—but the handling of it is new and in Miss Wyllarde’s best style. The descriptions are vivid and realistic.... The story is told with unusual vigor. It is human, simple, convincing and absorbing.”—Boston Herald
“As interesting as the first sea story ever written; a fresh, vividly-told tale.”—Baltimore Evening News
“A highly entertaining story for the lover of adventure, a sort of modernized Robinson Crusoe, with a heroine to take the place of Goodman Friday.”—Chicago Evening Post
“Brilliant writing and realistic psychology.”—New York Sun
“The book is more than an entertaining story.”—Boston Globe
“Miss Wyllarde invests this tale with a keenly attractive quality.”—Washington Evening Star
“Miss Wyllarde has ability above the average, and the gift of characterization to a marked degree.”—Providence Journal
“There is a fascination in reading the book that comes to one but rarely in any other contingent circumstance that is brought up in the present day pages of romance.”—Cincinnati Press Leader
