Novel about a group of immigrants of varied backgrounds and nationalities who are bound for America, each in search "of a new opportunity, of a new liberty of the spirit or of the body, of escape from family worries, intimate obsessions or ruined careers, of freedom for the varied impulses of the soul which the older countries of the earth had confined by necessity or long custom."
