Description: From inside DJ leaf:

Across the Pacific on a raft in the wake of the kon-Tiki Expedition---how many boys haven't dreamt fo making such a wonderful cruise?  In this book one of the members of this famous expedition, Bengt Danielsson, who became so fascinated by the South Seas that he later returned and made his home there, tells about the thrilling and funny adventures a thirteen-yr-old English boy had when he, by mistake, put to sea with an unwanted crew of mysterious strangers.  At the same time the author gives free rein to his marvelous imagination and manages easily and pleasantly to impart a great deal fo factual information about two subjects he knows particularly well: marine life and the South Sea Islands.
