Swallow. Volume 19

Sir Henry Rider Haggard was an English writer of adventure novels set mostly in Africa, and a founder of the Lost World literary genre. Swallow is a story of a Dutch girl raised in South Africa among the Kaffirs. Lonely, she gazes from shore over the waves of a storm-tossed sea, and dreams of a brother entering her life... and soon finds herself face-to-face with a shipwrecked waif cast ashore by the storm.
