A lively crew of teenage adventurers spends their holiday sailing the Thousand Islands aboard the swift sloop Curlew. Led by the confident Jack and the quick‑witted Billy, they pepper their conversation with jokes, daring wordplay and plenty of laughter, while Noddy—once a Bowery waif turned deckhand— delights in learning new terms. Their camaraderie shines as they navigate brisk winds, dodge imagined rocks, and dream of future voyages aboard a brand‑new liner.
When a chance encounter with an enigmatic signal pulls them into a secret naval project, the boys find their wireless skills put to the test. A mysterious code, hidden messages, and a series of odd incidents—ranging from a mischievous monkey to a puzzling wreck—draw them deeper into intrigue. With their ship and friendship as the only anchors, they must decipher the clues before danger closes in, proving that courage and curiosity go hand in hand on the high seas.
