The boys overhear a conversation soon after their arrival, where Mr. Bateson tells Ted that he wishes Ken and Sandy hadn't come. The boys consider leaving, but then they learn that the Batesons are having trouble with someone stealing lobster from their traps. Ken and Sandy offer to help the Batesons with their traps while they work towards finding out who is stealing the lobster. The boys soon notice a mysterious ship in the harbor at night and wonder whether the ship could be tied to the mystery. Several men behave suspiciously, but none worse than Jackson, who is openly belligerent towards the other men. Jackson is the Batesons' prime suspect, but they are unable to get proof. There is no way to keep watch on the traps without the culprit knowing about it. *** Quantity Available: 1. Category: Children & Young Adult; Teenage Fiction; Inventory No: 19050120..
