"When mark Rutherford, M.D., arrived in Auckland, New Zealand, he belied his case history, for few, apart from the doomed, would have changed places with this exceptionally pleasant young man.
During a most eventful voyage from Tahiti, Mark, whose knowledge of tropical diseases was meagre, had been called upon to prevent the much dreaded Yellow Fever from sweeping his ship, the "Pacific Star", and while so doing, started a chain of events which were destined to play a major part in the lives of many people, including that of the beautiful Odette de Balzac, a young French widow who is en route to Australia."
