The Jungle Fugitives by Edward S. Ellis is about Dr. Hugh Marlowe's adventurous life in India, the patients he healed, and the family he raised. Excerpt: "All through India, with its fanatical population five times as great as that of England, the rumblings of the coming uprising had been heard for months. The disaffection had been spreading and taking root. The emissaries of the arch-plotters had passed back and forth almost from end to end of the vast empire, with their messages of hatred and appeal. The people were assured that the "Inglese loge" were perfecting their insidious schemes for overthrowing their religion, and the faithful everywhere were called upon to crush the infidels in the dust. The evil seed fell upon the rankest of soil, and grew with vigor and exuberance that threatened to strangle every other growth."
