As the story begins, the Hardy Boys friends, Chet Morton and Biff Hooper, are preparing for a four week long boat trip in their new motorboat the “Envoy”. As they leave the following day they are escorted by the Hardy boys in their motorboat the “Sleuth” to the edge of the bay, where unexpectedly a violent storm causes them to turn back. When they get back they discover that Chet and Biff did not return but rather choose to press on through the storm. After three days with no word from their friends the Hardy Boys begin their search for their missing chums. Fans of the Hardy Boys series will delight in this adventurous tale of Frank and Joe’s peril-filled search for their friends. This edition follows the original edition, first published in 1928.
