The book by H. L. TREDREE adapted by Alan Hancock
Late in 1918, far out in the Atlantic Ocean, the U.S.S. Sherman picked up a radio message from the tramp ship Normandier, which told them that assistance was needed immediately. When they finally closed on the Normandier she refused to answer any signals and was apparently a drifting derelict without helmsman or power. The U.S.S. Sherman sent a boat across to investigate the mystery.
