The story opens with the shipwrmk of the steamer on which Miss Genevieve Leslie, an A rnerlea - hetress, Lord an Englishman, and Tom Blake, a triixue American, were passengers. The three were tossed upon an uninhabited island and were the only ones not drowned Hlake recovered from a drunken stupor Blake, shunned on the boat, because of his roughness, became a hero as preserver of the helpless pair. The Englishman was suing for the hand of Miss ljeshe. Blake started to swim back to the ship to recover what was left. Blake returned safely.
