Dick and Emmeline are but children when their ship sinks and maroons them both on a small tropical island in the South Pacific. Miraculously, with the help of the ship’s galley coo k, the pair learn to survive on the island and even thrive on its limitless bounty. But when the children lose their guardian, they are forced to brave the jungle and grow on their own. As the children mature into adulthood, new feelings begin to stir within them. What are these emotions? What is this force that draws them together? They explore themselves as they explore the island and grow together in a natural marriage, according to nature, that was blameless and without sin. Meanwhile, back in San Francisco, the children’s parents learn that Dick and Emmeline may yet be alive, having survived their ordeal on the wrecked ship. Will they find their children? Or are they lost forever in the vast South Pacific Sea? Show more
