About This Book

A group led by Captain Hollinger sails the yacht Seamew across the Pacific with Bob Hollinger and mechanic Mart Judson among the crew, embarking on a voyage to Tringanu and the Malay littoral. The narrative mixes shipboard scenes and boyish camaraderie with escalating dangers: seasickness and doldrums, shark encounters, careful navigation through reefs, a tiger hunt ashore, a violent storm, clashes with hostile men, capture and recapture, and a final sea battle that uncovers a lingering maritime mystery. Chapters move between travel detail, hunting episodes, and action, testing loyalty, courage, and practical seamanship.
