Description
Jules Verne's Facing the Flag, in an anonymous American translation first published in 1897, opens at Healthful House, where Count d'Artigas appears and a kidnapping follows. The schooner Ebba carries the captives to sea, and Simon Hart, the engineer, keeps notes on where he is.
Back Cup, a hidden grotto, holds the secret at the heart of the tale, with Ker Karraje and Engineer Serko among its people. Verne compares the grotto with caves in Kentucky, Belgium, and elsewhere, counting domes, rivers, and cataracts. The novel is a scientific romance of invention, capture, and escape.
