About This Book

A party of schoolboys and their teachers voyage on a steam yacht for a combined pleasure-and-education trip and become stranded on a remote island. They explore reefs and caverns, investigate a partially submerged wreck reached through a fissure, and make cautious underwater and underground excursions. The group encounters strange lights and voices in the woods, meets a mysterious older man, hears an enigmatic tale, contends with natural hazards and a fox's lair, and organizes efforts to summon help before finding a way off the island.
