Story Notes

A letter from Harry (Aquaboy) Endersby of Fort Lauderdale, Florida announces he and friends call themselves "Aquaboys" when swimming. And how about an Aquaboy companion for Aquaman like Robin and Speedy? The editor replies, "Not bad... We'll take it up with the editor-in-chief."

Each time he makes a difficult choice, he finds the other choice was saved by an old seafarer who leaves three mysterious holes at every scene.
