About This Book

A group of resourceful young crewmen undertake a proving voyage in a new submarine while their builder seeks investment, and rising tensions with a wealthy rival lead to insults and confrontation. Trouble deepens when a submarine and its crew disappear, triggering searches, accusations, and a public examination of the youths' abilities. The boys use ingenuity, practical jokes, and seamanship—including a daring rescue and a scheme that confounds naval authorities—to suppress a mutiny, compete for prizes, and resolve business disputes, ultimately demonstrating their competence and surprising both allies and adversaries.
