A 1948 adventure from the pages of Famous Funnies #165, this story follows Dickie and Dan as their sailboat is caught in a sudden squall, forcing them to jury-rig a makeshift sail. After being offered a tow by a passing P.T. boat, they find themselves in a tense standoff when the crew grows hostile and threatens them with machine guns. With quick thinking and a well-timed rocket flare, Dan tries to break free—but the boat isn’t done with them yet. Written, drawn, and inked by Mabel Burwick Waugh, the issue features a dynamic cover by Stephen Douglas.
