The House on the Cliff
Chapter 18: Coast Guard Action
Meanwhile
Chet and Tony reach the Coast Guard, only to run into Biff, Phil and Jerry! The
five boys quickly fill in Chief Robinson with the whole story of the smugglers,
Snattman and Ali Singh. They warn the Chief that Ali may pitch more stolen
drugs overboard when the Marco Polo docks in Bayport. Within minutes,
Chief Petty Officer Brown is powering a boat toward the Marco Polo, 16
miles offshore, with Biff, Jerry and Phil riding along! Quietly the boys watch
and wait. Suddenly a hatch opens, and something is dumped in the water! By the
light cast from the hatch, the boys see a long net appear and scoop up the
mysterious package. The Coast Guard boat roars to life!
