'A drama teeming with thrilling situations, with the orthodox tale of love and hate skilfully interwoven in a network of crime and intrigue, it could not fail to attract. The escape, in an open boat, of the hero from the French penal settlement at New Caledonia, and his rescue in mid-ocean by a British man-of-war formed the incidents on which the story turned.'
