Four children arrive for a sailing holiday to find their cottage locked up, the lake flooded, and their little yacht inaccessible. The holiday seems over before it had begun. But they had not counted on the ingenuity of their friend Elizabeth... The story builds to a thrilling climax as the children eventually discover the secret of the old boat moored in the bay and discover many things about themselves at the same time.
