| Summary | "The White Waterfall" by James Francis Dwyer is an adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the mysterious Pacific Islands, focusing on the journey of the main character, Jack Verslun, as he joins an expedition led by the eccentric Professor Herndon. This mysterious voyage promises encounters with hidden secrets and ancient civilizations, intertwined with dangers and challenges in a largely unexplored land. The opening of the novel begins with Verslun waking on the wharf in Levuka, Fiji, where he overhears a conversation between a Maori man and a Fijian about a mysterious “white waterfall” and “Black Fernando’s hell.” Intrigued by their chant, he seeks answers to their riddles, which sets the stage for his impending adventure. Soon after, he meets Will Holman, who brings him the opportunity to join a scientific expedition aboard the yacht "The Waif". As the story progresses, Verslun encounters the Professor and his two daughters, Edith and Barbara, offering a glimpse into the complex relationships and budding tensions amid the expedition. With an air of mystery surrounding the fate of crew members and the intentions of their enigmatic partner, Leith, the narrative promises suspense and intrigue as the characters dive headfirst into the unknown.
