About This Book

A trio of adventurous boys and their allies embark on a Pacific voyage that turns into a series of maritime perils: kidnapping by the villainous Colonel Morello, confinement in a ship's forehold, and a forced course toward a remote island in the Marquesas. Storms, derelict vessels, fog, sea predators, and encounters with mysterious craft and islanders create repeated dangers, while the youths devise daring escapes, employ improvised ordnance, and uncover hidden secrets tied to a derelict. The narrative follows their resourcefulness, narrow rescues, and the resolution of the island's mystery.
