Fix this textBOOK REVIEW
Fix this textBy N. G. RANKIN
Fix this textFrederick j. thwaites is evi-
Fix this textdently literary and business like.
Fix this textHe has a thirteenth novel to his credit.
Fix this text“Fever,” his latest, although printed
Fix this textin England has been published by F.
Fix this textJ. Thwaites Pty. Ltd., in Sydney.
Fix this textThis is a striking illustration for
Fix this textthose who wish to affirm that authors
Fix this textare not always dreamers, nor the re-
Fix this textverse of the practical. Barrabas has
Fix this textbeen accused of having been a pub-
Fix this textlisher, Mr. Thwaites has dispensed
Fix this textwith his Barrabas, and has his own
Fix this textproprietary company.
Fix this text“Fever” may not be described in-
Fix this textaccurately as a “Tale of Two Pals,”
Fix this textwho followed in the footsteps of two
Fix this textother pals, who preceded them on a
Fix this textsimilar mission from England to Ni-
Fix this textgeria, and who met with a sad fate.
Fix this text“Fever” is not a narrative of a
Fix this textcommonplace run through life. To
Fix this textquote from the “jacket” on the book,
Fix this text“the story is of two young scientists
Fix this textwho barter their very bodies and souls
Fix this textwith the jungle as they seek a cure
Fix this textfor the dreaded malaria.” A desire
Fix this textto combat a virulent disease was the
Fix this textprincipal motive of the two leading
Fix this textcharacters, as disclosed in the early
Fix this textpages of Mr. Thwaite’s absorbing
Fix this textstory, in which are involved problems
Fix this textin science and ethnography with its
Fix this textnot entirely unusual concomitant mis-
Fix this textcegination.
Fix this textThe author has not overloaded “Fev-
Fix this texter” with too many characters. Much
Fix this textof the book is centred on Paul Saun-
Fix this textders and Grant Barlow. There is
Fix this textalso a sufficient mixture of love to
Fix this textprevent the story from being exclus-
Fix this textively confined to the fortunes and mis-
Fix this textfortunes of males.
Fix this textAs with his male, Mr. Thwaites por-
Fix this texttrays his female characters convincing-
Fix this textly. Although “Fever” may be classi-
Fix this textfied among the “thrillers”, the author
Fix this textnever descends to the outrageously
Fix this textmelo-dramatic.
Fix this textSaunders and Barlow had been
Fix this textschoolmates, but they were a “con-
Fix this texttrast in every way.” Saunders in-
Fix this textduced his close friend to “follow in
Fix this textthe footsteps of great scientists” by
Fix this textgoing to Nigeria to discover means
Fix this textfor curing malaria, notwithstanding
Fix this textthe two young enthusiasts had failed
Fix this textin a previous mission.
Fix this textSaunders emphasised to Barlow, who,
Fix this textin spite’ of his feigned flippancy was
Fix this textfundamentally faithful to his old
Fix this textschoolmate, that: “In science you de-
Fix this textmand nothing . . . you gamble your
Fix this textlife for mankind’s sake.”
Fix this textThe two approached Professor Green-
Fix this textberg, who had earned for himself “the
Fix this textbrilliant place he occupied in the world
Fix this textof science,” and entrusted their train-
Fix this texting to him. Greenberg informed them
Fix this textthat he had news that two friends of
Fix this textSaunders and Barlow, Cavendish and
Fix this textCollins, who had been animated with
Fix this textthe fervour of scientifically serving
Fix this textmankind had been slain in the Niger-
Fix this textian jungle.
Fix this textGreenberg declared that they were
Fix this text“scientists to their finger-tips they
Fix this texthad youth, brilliance, courage and
Fix this textnow they were dead, buried out some-
Fix this textwhere in Africa. So great men die.”
Fix this textSaunders and Barlow volunteered to
Fix this textgo to Nigeria. Greenberg impressive-
Fix this textly said to them: “I want you both
Fix this textto realise that notwithstanding the
Fix this textdangers you are about to face, I could
Fix this textby a mere lift of my hand have hun-
Fix this textdreds of young men begging to me to
