Mary Liddiard, by W.H.G. Kingston.
________________________________________________________________________
Mary is the daughter of a missionary somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. It
is towards the end of the eighteenth century. Some but not all of the
natives on the island have been converted. The author expounds at great
length on the central truth of Christianity.
There is an attack by the natives of another island, which Mary and her
friends survive by hiding in a cave. Later they are obliged to leave
the island by canoe. There is a great storm, but they survive it, being
picked up by an English missionary vessel. There is a happy ending,
with a great family reunion.
