“[This book tells the] experiences of a Red cross hospital chaplain of the Dutch Reformed church, principally in Base hospital 101, at St Nazaire and in Evacuation hospital 13 where wounded were received straight from the battlefield.

When Miss Joan Kirtland, who has left town very suddenly after a disagreement with Mr Robert Sinclair, finds that the Harbor View house cannot take her in, she is at a loss for a place to spend the night. Captain ‘Bijah Dawson comes to her aid and suggests that the light house people may take her in. As Captain ‘Bijah assured her, they are “cur’ous folks,” Jim and Elspeth Pemberley and their little son Garth, but their presence in this unusual situation is explained and Joan, who had meant to stay a night, then a week, remains all summer. Joan, who had thought she did not like children, is captivated by Garth and at the end of the summer learns that Mr Sinclair is his Uncle Bob. Jim Pemberley has aspirations toward the navy and there is a German spy episode in the story.
