Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from When the Dawn Is Come: A Tragedy in Three Acts
Ita (who has been writing). Yes, they are ready. But now, what of our new Captain, Alexander? He is not here; the lot may fall on him for the first week.
Hugh (looking round to consult the others). What if we leave his name out? He will thus be seventh.
Ita. No, there is a more just plan. Here is his name, written like all the rest. Let it go to the box with all the rest. If it comes first, then let him have his choice of weeks, the second first. He will arrive to-day or to-morrow - soon. If his name be second he will take command next week. Do you not think this well?
