About This Book

A group of Boy Scouts sailing in a small gasoline launch encounters fog, a near collision, and the rescue of a seemingly drowned stranger, launching a sequence of sea-borne adventures. The episodic narrative follows their efforts to navigate damaged craft, provide first aid, and respond to sabotage and deception that lead to marooning, capture by treasure-seekers, and clashes with pirates. Episodes alternate between daring escapes, night attacks, and organized searches, culminating in a confrontation over hidden treasure and revelations of treachery driven by greed.
