About This Book

Two brothers, Frank and Andy, begin with seaside antics that lead into a maritime mystery when a motor boat is wrecked. They help rescue a boy, pursue clues to the sunken craft, and face rival claimants, a suspicious stranger, and on-board hazards including fire. Subsequent episodes move through cliff and cave exploration, a rising tide and storm, capture and escape, raft-building, and a final coordinated rescue, with suspicion and accusation giving way to the discovery and settlement of the wreck’s secrets.
