The Dusantes by Frank R. Stockton
"The Dusantes" by Frank R. Stockton is a novel written in the late 19th century. This story serves as a sequel to "The Casting Away of Mrs. Lecks and Mrs. Aleshine," and continues to explore the adventures of the same main characters. The narrative centers around the experiences of Mr. Craig and his companions, including Mrs. Lecks and Mrs. Aleshine, as they navigate their way from a deserted island back to civilization
while encountering various challenges along the way. The beginning of "The Dusantes" introduces us to Mr. Craig and his companions as they leave a tropical island after having been shipwrecked. The group includes Mrs. Lecks, Mrs. Aleshine, Mr. Enderton, and Craig's new wife, Ruth. Having been stranded for over a month, they finally embark on their journey, but are soon faced with a perilous coach ride through the mountains, culminating in a harrowing runaway incident. Following this mishap, they find themselves snowbound and must find ways to adapt to their environment while awaiting rescue, setting the stage for their eventual encounter with the Dusantes, who have their own mysterious story tied to the island.
