About this book
A mail steamer called the Zanzibar crosses a calm, starlit sea at the start of this Haggard romance, where Benita Beatrix Clifford leans on the rail until a tall man of about thirty strolls up to her. An opening note says the author believed the story had some foundation in fact: a tale from the country behind Quilimane of a sixteenth-century Portuguese treasure, sought by a trader who used a mesmerised child to find the spot. The book has twenty-four chapters and first appeared in 1906.
