At the start of the story, the trio is enjoying a sailing getaway on the "Curlew", reflecting on their past adventures and the exciting times ahead. Their peaceful outing is abruptly interrupted by the aggressive intentions of Donald Judson and his father, who attempt to intentionally collide with their boat. Despite their best efforts to steer clear, a collision ensues, resulting in a hole on the "Curlew"'s side and leaving the boys in a precarious situation.
