"At dawn one morning during the latter half of the nineteenth century, a ship was approaching the mouth of the Hoogly. At her mast-head a ship's-boy stared forward expectantly with the eager curiosity of youth. At length a dull smudge appeared upon the horizon; it was land, the first land the ship has sighted for many long days. The land was India, and the boy's name was Rufus Isaacs. He was not to approach that land again until he reached it once more as its Viceroy. Between these two glimpses of India lies the romance of Rufus Isaac's life..." - Chapter 1
