’I was wrong, ’ said Captain Flint. ’He’s not mad but bad. It isn’t only eggs he wants. He wants to take the credit for it. You’re quite right. It’s up to us, it’s up to the ship, to see he doesn’t.’Dick’s birdwatching discovery turns the cruise of the Sea Bear into a desperate chase.

Fortunately, Nancy has a few plans.
