New York: Africana Publishing Corporation, 1970. Hardcover. A colonial novel about a shipwreck off of the South African Coast and what became of the crew and passengers. "Particularly interesting is the light that the novel sheds on the attitudes of the races and groups towards one another: Boer and English, Boer and African, English and African, the community and those of mixed blood. The novel shows that although racial attitudes had not finally set, the lines along which they would develop were already strongly delineated" (jacket flap). Fronispiece illustration. First published in 1845. 308 pages. African History. AFR5/5012. Near Fine / Very Good.
