“It is surprising how old friends turn up at odd moments, and no one could have been more astonished than Biggles when he saw red-headed Sandy Macaster on the streps of his club one fine spring morning.  Naturally their meeting had to be celebrated over lunch, and naturally Sandy talked of his adventures and of his present difficulties.  And, Biggles being Biggles, it was perhaps just as natural that in a few weeks’ time he and Algy and Ginger and Sandy found themselves on a remote island in the South Seas, with a seaplane for company, looking for pearls at the bottom of the ocean.”
