Summary Children's picture storybook based on an historical incident. In 1890, the British East India passenger liner 'Quetta' struck an uncharted rock in the Torres Strait and sank. Over 150 men, women, and children lost their lives, but one of the survivors was an unidentified baby girl. A custody battle erupted when both the ship's Captain and a young Ceylonese steward wanted to adopt her
