High above the Atlantic, a teenage pilot and his Seminole companion soar in an amphibious two‑seater, chasing the endless horizon on a bright August day. The calm sky and gentle wind mask a strange silhouette on the water—a massive yacht that seems frozen in place, no flags, no smoke, no sign of life. Their curiosity quickly turns to concern as they wonder who could be stranded in such isolation.
Bill decides to land the plane on the water and board the ghostly vessel, hoping to offer aid if anyone is aboard. Osceola, ever vigilant, follows his lead, and together they grapple with the swaying deck, aware that time and tide may be against them. The tension of the unknown draws listeners into a daring rescue that could reveal secrets hidden beneath the sea’s calm surface.

A former engineer and naval aviator, this early 20th-century writer turned his real experience in flight into fast-moving adventure stories for young readers. His books helped bring the excitement of aviation, sports, and jungle exploits to popular series fiction of the 1920s and 1930s.
