Soon after, he meets Will Holman, who brings him the opportunity to join a scientific expedition aboard the yacht "The Waif". As the story progresses, Verslun encounters the Professor and his two daughters, Edith and Barbara, offering a glimpse into the complex relationships and budding tensions amid the expedition.
