The year was 1820 and Peter Richley was a grateful man. He had survived one of the strangest and most harrowing events known to mankind. The ship which he had been traveling on sank. He was rescued. By some strange twist of circumstance, however, this ship sank. He was rescued again. But, this third ship sank likewise. He was rescued for a third time. Yet, his fourth ship of passage soon sank, and unbelievably, he was rescued for a fourth time, but this fifth ship sank as well.

This ocean liner, The City of Leeds, was named after it's British city of origin. It was bound from England to Australia and traveled the same sea lane as Peter Richley's downed ships. The crew of The City of Leeds hoisted Peter aboard. Dry clothing was provided to Peter. The ship's doctor gave him a cursory exam, pronounced him fit, and then asked an unusual favor.
''There's a lady on board who booked passage to Australia,'' the doctor explained. ''She's looking for her son who disappeared years ago. She's dying and she's asking to see her son. She knows everybody on board and since you're the only newcomer, would you pretend to be her son?'' ...
