Synopsis
Tim is facing a dilemma. The crew of the Claribel has partaken of bad pie and fainted dead away, leaving the second mate in charge. He orders Tim to steer east, but Tim knows this will lead the ship onto deadly rocks. The bullying, brutish second mate refuses to listen to Tim’s pleas. The ship’s wireless operator managed to send an S.O.S. before he fainted. Will help arrive in time? What can Tim do to save the ship? Enhanced by Edward Ardizzone’s wonderful watercolor illustrations, this rollicking tale is one of Tim’s most exciting adventures.
