Hurricane
“The Venture shipped the waves over her bows and then, rearing up, spilled hundreds of tons of roaring water aft in great tidal waves which swept the decks clean of everything but the planks themselves. The foremast went first in a shower of tangled, drenched rigging which snaked about in vicious circles until the whole was driven over the side.
From the smashed ports of the bridge, from which even the dodger had been ripped away, Spar could not penetrate the curtain of spray and wind more than ...thirty feet. His face was set in an ugly twist as he thought about the engineer.
Someone, something on this craft was striving for an unknown end he could not fathom. Someone had wanted the party and Tom Perry out of Martinique. Someone craved their destruction at sea.
Who was it?
And Spar wondered if all these things had happened according to a definite plan. First they had meant to kill him and then they had obviously found a use for him. And would he die as soon as his usefulness was over?
If anyone desired Spar’s death, the yacht was certainly heading for the most likely spot in these waters.MoreLess
