Last week you heard how, in 1853, Jeremy Shafto went in search of his friend Andre de Marsac, who had disappeared in the West Indies. An ivory miniature Andre had managed to send home had faint scribbling on the back. Jeremy could read only a few words, but they made him fear that Andre might have fallen into the hands of their old enemy, Calamanco. The miniature had been passed to a French sailor by an American girl called Mandy Lou who, since her father Cap'ain Larabee's death, had commanded the schooner Barracuda. So the first thing to do was to find out who had given the miniature to Mandy.
