Description

Dick Hamilton is a spirited young millionaire who’s earned his stripes leading a cadet company and now wants to test his mettle on the high seas. He commissions a sleek steam yacht and sets out with a close‑knit group of friends, hoping for smooth sailing and a taste of real adventure beyond the academy grounds.

Soon the cruise takes an unexpected turn when a mysterious plot—engineered by his own uncle and a band of kidnappers—throws Dick and his companions into peril. Marooned on a tiny island, they must improvise a raft, fend off shadows in the night, and summon every ounce of courage to stay ahead of their foes. Listeners will be drawn into the unfolding chase, the tense sea rescue, and the clever ways a determined youth turns a crisis into a thrilling test of character.
