¶ The Schooner "Laughing Lass" is found abandoned in the Pacific with convincing evidence of recent occupation. A crew is put aboard only to vanish; then a second crew, whose disappearance deepens the wonder. In the solution of the mystery we have the story of an adventurous voyage the like of which will never be again and of desperate labors on a volcano's brink.
