Shipwrecked and keen to find Prince Alleric's sabre, Al and Owen cautiously venture into Ghost Island with Mahoot, Hally and Snakeboot. A volcano nearby is grumbling and the ghosts are gathering around the children. Pretty soon they end up in a large room where a shimmering skeletal man appears. Slowly he comes closer, rotting and horrible. Terrified, the children realise this is Vicious Victor himself. As Vicious Victor begins to speak, however, the children can see that he is truly repentant of his previous greed and jealousy.
Dan Jerris passion for the sea faring world came about from his many adventures on the high seas; meeting sharks face-to-face, sailing over dangerous reefs, and being held at gunpoint near an island where pirates still roam. His boat has nearly sunk many times, but each time the luck of the sea has saved him.
