First sentence: Lieutenant Commander Pete Martin, USNR, commanding USS PC 237, watched his ship labor in the storm.
Description: "A dying Cuban, terrified by a nameless, sinister 'tall one,' leaves naval officer Pete Martin a clue to a sunken Spanish treasure ship. With only a brash waterfront urchin as crew, Pete sets sail in his old schooner, pursued by The Tall One in a radar-equipped yacht. Outwitting the enemy in a storm, they find the prize guarded by a monster octopus, and the menacing black yacht again on their tail." <br>
