Mr. Keegan's Elopement was the first published story by the
American author, Winston Churchill. It was published in magazine
format in 1896, probably in Cosmopolitan magazine, of which he was
the managing editor at the time. It was later published in 1903 by
Macmillan & Co. as a short story in hard cover book format. The
story is that of a young U.S. Naval officer meeting and eloping
with a young British lady on the island of Madeira and of the,
sometimes humorous, secretive arrangements made by one of his
friends from the crew of the ship to facilitate the elopement. The
island of Madeira is part of a Portuguese group of islands about
360 miles off the coast of Africa and 535 miles from Lisbon,
Portugal. Funchal (the setting for this story) is on the south
coast of Madeira, and is the capital city with a population of
about 100,000 residents today.
