About this book
A friendship between two prosperous San Francisco businessmen sets the scene for an adventure involving their grown children, Jack Starland and Warrenia Rowland. Their families share a distant connection, and the pair jokingly call each other brother and sister. Jack's love of boats, his West Point training and his military experience prepare the ground for a story whose action moves to South America.
Edward Sylvester Ellis brings river travel and political danger together in this novel for younger readers. Warrenia and her friend Señorita Estacardo watch from a castle as a soldier approaches at dusk. He carries an urgent message in Jack's handwriting. Elsewhere, Jack travels inland with Captain Guzman and Martella, weighing how to help the women with only two companions.
