Houdini, bound in chains and submerged in water, could defy nature and hold his breath long enough to escape. Not so an ordinary seaman. The unfortunate fellow had seen too much while laying in provisions aboard The Seascape, the Tibaults’ luxury yacht. Those intent upon preserving their secret did not hesitate to silence him with a blow to the head and, binding his ankles with chains not unlike those used by the great escape artist, toss him overboard. Submerged in the Caribbean, he regained consciousness. But he panicked. Feeling the weight upon his legs, he gasped for air. His death was deemed an accident—no reason to delay departure—Malcolm Tibault had money enough to bribe the officials and compensate the family—so as Miss Abigail Patience Danforth, and Houdini, board The Seascape in Panama to sail to New Orleans they are unaware of the drowning. But when Malcolm Tibault himself dies, and his body is committed to the deep before it can be examined for poison, it is Miss Danforth who suspects the worst and captures the murderer.
