About This Book

Two young wireless operators aboard a transoceanic liner apply radio skill to trace a missing yacht and to answer distress calls, becoming enmeshed in sabotage, coded signals, and rescue missions. Suspicious conduct by a first-class passenger and his niece prompts investigation that uncovers break-ins, a midnight intruder, kidnapping, and narrow escapes while the boys coordinate with other ships and an aviator to locate endangered parties. Action alternates with technical wireless procedure, leading through drifting vessels, daring climbs, and deception to the exposure of a criminal plot and the eventual restoration of safety at sea.
