AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Both by the manner of the telling and by the adventures it narrates, "Everlasting Hurricane" will hold the reader's interest from the first instalment. It tells of the many strange adventures that befell Raoul Servan, a French political offender, who, with 7000 others, had been "thrown into the pit of objectless existence"—the prison island of New Caledonia— in 1871. When least expected, the means of escape was found—a whaleboat—and Raoul and a youth of English parents, sent to the island because his French foster-father was also a political offender, found themselves free in the Pacific. They decided not to make for Australia, where the police were always on the watch for escapees, but made for the islands of the Western Pacific. Many remarkable adventures and escapes from death befell them, and readers will find that each instalment brings new thrills.

The Sydney Morning Herald, 28 January 1937, p4
