A ghost ship full of long-lost gold beckons, and Biggles gets an
icy reception...Biggles, Algie, Bertie and Ginger are visited by
Grimes, an old pal from the war, whose father, a Merchant Navy
captain known as Jumbo, is in a spot of bother. He was recently
tricked into skippering a crew of seal poachers to an islet off
Antarctica. While there, they spotted an old ship - still rigged
for sail - trapped in the pack ice. After an investigation of the
ship, Jumbo overheard the words 'starry' and 'crown' from the
jubilant crew. An avid fan of an unsolved mysteries, Biggles
immediately recognises the importance of these words. Jumbo and his
crew had stumbled upon the long-lost schooner Starry Crown, which
went missing seventy years prior with a ton of Australian gold
ingots aboard. There have been several sightings and ill-fated
recovery expeditions since, but no one has ever retrieved the gold.
Grimes reckons that they might be able to beat the poachers to the
treasure if they were to go by air, and wonders if Biggles is
interested in an adventure. After making a few enquiries, Biggles
agrees to the expedition, but there is more than gold in the Starry
Crown, and no help for miles across Antarctica's vast silence...
Wrap up warm for a classic Biggles adventure to the frozen
continent of Antarctica.
