In the bathyscaphe named Quetzalcoatl Mike Slater and his diving
partner Manfred Richter hear pings from more than one source. They
are retrieving a tube from a sunken submarine and have experienced
a desperate ordeal before hearing the sonar sounds that are both
mysterious and unsettling. All they want to do is return to the
surface and exit the steel sphere that has taken them down to the
bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
Peter Dawes continues the search for Jack Rhodes by taking
stagecoach and steamboat to San Francisco where Rhodes was
shanghaied. Even before Dawes returns to San Francisco, Rhodes
experiences a shipwreck and rescue by a very literate and murderous
captain who commands the Arkadia, bound for San Francisco with a
cargo of opium for Oyster Mike, known as an oyster pirate but in
reality the man who controls the vice payoffs in the Barbary Coast.
One danger that Dawes is unaware of is that the brother of the
half-breed he killed in Susanville has returned to the frontier
town. When Tug finds out that Dawes killed his brother he sets out
for revenge. Dawes uses his skills as a confidential investigator
to ferret out information about what happened to Jack Rhodes. In
the meantime he is approached by various other San Franciscans,
including the notorious Captain Breen, to embark on investigations
that are intertwined with his search for Rhodes. Dawes ultimately
finds Rhodes and helps him to escape the Arkadia. As Dawes, Rhodes
and a policeman enter the New Bella Union, owned by an acquaintance
of Rhodes, the Arkadia's crew, Oyster Mike and his men, and Captain
Breen converge on the New Bella Union. Tug is gambling at one of
the tables in the New Bella Union, but he is unaware that Dawes has
entered the establishment.
