Title illustration omitted; a novelette. "Perhaps we should say the call of the South Seas, but it’s all the same—the irresistible call of the tropic isles. Another of Lamb’s excellent tales." —from the Contents page

"Stuart had heard the tale of Don Quiros, and the missionaries who tried to found a new Jerusalem at Santo—a kind of earthly paradise—in the year 1606. The lad had run across many narratives of the islands during his travels, and he was acquainted with the stories of the early voyages. He had even heard of D’Urville.

"This, in a way, prepared him for what be was to find. Believing as I do in Providence, I often wonder if John Stuart was not led half across the world to Santo by the thing we call Fate, for want of a better name. To Santo and the garden in the hills."
