Wednesday the Tenth, A Tale of the South Pacific

"Wednesday the Tenth, A Tale of the South Pacific" by Grant Allen is a thrilling adventure that unfolds in the exotic South Pacific. Narrated by Julian Braithwaite, captain of the steam yacht "Albatross", the story kicks off with the discovery of two young English boys adrift at sea. These boys, Martin Luther and John Knox Macglashin, recount a terrifying tale of savages on the island of Tanaki holding their family captive for a sacrificial ceremony. Driven by compassion, Julian and his Polynesian companion, Nassaline, embark on a perilous rescue mission across treacherous waters, racing against time to save the family from a gruesome fate. This sets the stage for an action-packed journey filled with moral decisions, encounters with savage customs, and the constant threat of the unforgiving sea.
