The Halliway Boys on a Dangerous Voyage

Three brothers, Don, Bill, and Rusty Halliway are used to being out on the water. They spend their summers helping out with their family business shuttling passengers, fisherman, and cargo on “ The Janice Kay” around Lake of the Woods in northern Minnesota. The boys have an uncanny ability to get themselves wrapped up in one adventure after another. If a situation arises, the three boys somehow end up in the middle of it. While this does become trying for their parents, it does prevent life from becoming monotonous. In this adventure, the Halliway boys find themselves on a boat in Southern Florida helping out their friend Eddie Logan. The three brothers become entangled in a fierce competition for a fishing contract that becomes dangerous and sinister. Eddie faced him. "I thought you were the man who didn't mind trouble," he said. "What's the matter, are you afraid of him?" "Yes, I'm scared of him," he blurted. "I'm scared to death of that man! And you'd be scared too if you knew what I know about him!" His voice cracked with emotion. "I don't want to have anything to do with him or anything that he's interested in!" Eddie waited. "Perhaps you'd better tell me what that means, Mick," he replied. The diver was defiant. His lips curled contemptuously. "What would you suppose that it means?" "I'd rather have you spell it out for me." "I mean exactly what I said," Mick continued. "I'm not doing any diving for anyone when Kurt Wahl is around. Not unless I'm diving for him." "But you can't leave us in the lurch this way," Don protested. "We've got to have a diver. We've been counting on you." "Well, from now on you can count me out. I'm through. Finished." "But what about that contract you signed?" Eddie asked. "Doesn't it mean anything at all? Are you going to walk out on me without any more warning than this?"
