Description:Felix Thurstan and Muriel Ellis have set sail on the Australasian, an ocean liner that would take them from Australia to San Francisco. However, one evening, as they stand on deck, a great wave pounds against the ocean liner. Muriel Ellis is thrown overboard and in his gentlemanly way, Felix jumps in after her. Unfortunately, the rescue boat that they sent out cannot find them, and thus are they stranded on a tropical island. Now they must survive living in the wilderness without any signs of modern civilization -- and worse still, on an island inhabited by cannibalistic savages!Excerpt:I desire to express my profound indebtedness, for the central mythological idea embodied in this tale to Mr. J. G. Frazer's admirable and epoch-making work, The Golden Bough, whose maid contention I have endeavored incidentally to popularize in my present story. I wish also to express my obligations in other ways to Mr. Andrew Lang's Myth, Ritual, and Relig ion, Mr. H. O. Forbes's Naturalist's Wanderings, and Mr. Julian Thomasfs Cannibals and Convicts. If I have omitted to mention any other author to whom I may have owed incidental hints, it will be some con solation to me to reflect that I shall at least have af forded an Opportunity for legitimate sport to the ama teurs of the new and popular British pastime of badger baiting or plagiary-hunting. It may also save critics some moments' search if I say at once that, after care ful consideration, I have been unable to discover any moral whatsoever in this humble narrative. I venture to believe that in so enlightened an age the majority of my readers will never miss it.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
