The initial two-volume edition was bound in plain plum colour cloth, with each volume containing eight full-page illustrations, different from the French. The titles of these books are Their Island Home and The Castaways of the Flag, parts one of two of the novel respectively, translated by Cranstoun Metcalfe."
