Chapter I. DEATH ON THE SLOOP
DOC SAVAGE happened to be only one of a few million persons who heard about the mystery of the silver
sloop almost at once. When it first came to Doc SavageтАЩs notice, the mystery probably baffled the bronze
man as much as it did any one.

A coast guard patrol boat picked up the silver sloop on Long Island Sound. It was night. The coast guard
hailed the sloop because the craft was carrying no lights. Hailed, and got no answer. The silver sloop was a
silent ghost with slatting canvas. So the coast guard boarded it.

Next morning, it was in all of the newspapers. They put out extra editions in London. Paris and Berlin sheets
had it on the front pages. In remote Japan, they brushed it in queer-looking characters on the public news
boards.
Doc Savage, of course, read the papers. Long ago, Doc Savage had found it advisable to keep a close check
on the news events of the world. This precaution had on several occasions saved Doc SavageтАЩs life. The fact
that it had was due to the highly unusual profession which Doc Savage practiced.
