SOUTH SEA ADVENTURE
FACED with the choice of life in the South Seas or further education at school, what youngster would hesitate? In Captain Danger, the serial for children which starts from 2ZB and 4ZB this Sunday, May 26, that is the choice offered to Danny and Diana Dangerfield under the terms of their grand-
father’s will. Naturally they choose to go to the South Seas, to share in the work of running the trading business there which their grandfather built up and which is now in the hands of his brother, known as Captain Danger. They are to travel on his schooner, the Mandaloon.
The letter from their grandfather also insists that Danny and Diana are to be accompanied by his old Negro butler, "Doolittle Knowhow Jones. The children soon overcome his reluctance to have anything to do with ocean voyages and wild natives, but they find that overcoming the Captain’s dislike of their presence is less easy, especially since they insist upon keeping a pet monkey. Much of the action takes place on the voyage to the islands, but the story ends with some exciting skirmishes with cannibal islanders.
