Found a ebook collection of some of Henry de Vere Stacpoole's works and decided to give them a try as I e never heard about this author or his works before. It was an interesting story but not a new favorite

What happens when two ships collide in the ocean? The survivor crew managed to reach a deserted island and then....
I won't spoil the whole story but I'lll only add that this book doesn't look like as suggested by its tittle, on the contrary.
Even if some rescue measures for survival in a desert island has some implausible hints, the author managed to bring the plot in a realist way.
Anatole France is cited several times along the narrative, specially his book, "The Penguin Island."
Great finding Dorcas!!
