The mysterious loss of the Arethusa is investigated by Dr. Bird and Carnes.
Excerpt
“I beg your pardon, sir. I’m looking for Dr. Bird.”
The famous Bureau of Standards scientist appraised the speaker rapidly. Keen blue eyes stared questioningly at him from a mahogany brown face, criss-crossed with a thousand tiny wrinkles. The tattooed anchor on his hand and the ill-fitting blue serge suit smacked of the sea while the squareness of his shoulders and the direct gaze of his eye spoke eloquently of authority.
“I’m Dr. Bird, Captain. What can I do for you?”
“Thank you, Doctor, but I’m not a captain. My name is Mitchell and I am, or was, the first mate of the Arethusa.”
“The Arethusa!” Operative Carnes of the United States Secret Service sprang to his feet. “You said the Arethusa? There were no survivors!”
“I believe that I am the only one.”
