With Philip was the other real trouble – in the enticing shape of red-headed Gloria, who had stowed away on his raft.  Together they encounter perils in the true Wheatley tradition of adventure, rising to a terrific and truly satisfying climax.

(At a time when German submarines were sinking so much Allied shipping that Britain faced the danger of starvation, Dennis Wheatley – then a member of the War Cabinet's Joint Planning Staff – suggested that raft convoys, moved by the Gulf Stream and prevailing winds, should be used to float essential supplies across the Atlantic. This story is based on that idea.)
