Publisher Description
Pearl buyer Charley has just boarded Petite Jeanne, a ship that is supposed to sail from Rangiroa to Tahiti. Charley starts to worry when some of the passengers get a smallpox – and die because of it. Soon, however, smallpox doesn't seem like such a big problem as there is a hurricane ahead.
Charley ends up in the sea with a Kanaka called Otoo – and their survival is a start of a beautiful friendship.
'The Heathen' is a short story by Jack London.

A book about selflessness and being good natured
London’s style is as rough as the lives of the characters presented. His approach to momentum may be very hard for some to understand in these times, but were likely critical when written.
