Description

Two seasoned members of the Motor Boat Club, Tom Halstead and Joe Dawson, are riding the Overland Mail toward San Francisco after a string of daring sea exploits. Their reputation as fleet captain and engineer has earned them a coveted position with a wealthy yacht owner, who has even provided a sleek motor cruiser for their use. In the quiet of the sleeping car they exchange a nervous premonition that something disastrous may await them once they reach the fog‑bound city.

When the fog rolls in over the Golden Gate, the pair find themselves drawn into a sudden, high‑stakes chase to capture a mysterious intruder threatening the harbor. With Tom’s command of the vessel and Joe’s knack for engines and wireless telegraphy, they must outmaneuver the unseen threat before it vanishes into the mist. Listeners will be swept along by the duo’s camaraderie, early‑20th‑century technology, and the suspense of a race against time.
