security force here. The reason was simple: While Project Alpha was an independent effort, the government felt the results might be important, even vital, to national security—which was one of the reasons it was willing to help to begin with.
    Despite the security force, Anza-bora’s rules were far more relaxed than those of an ordinary military base; the gang was allowed access to almost all of the island’s resources without ever being questioned.
    This was partly Dr. Hwa’s doing; he didn’t want bored children distracting his scientists.
    Actually, boredom has been the least of our problems , thought Wendy as she brought the dune buggy skidding to a halt behind the others. Some days it seems as if just staying alive heads the list!
    â€œI’ll grab a couple of sets of scuba gear,” yelled Hap, jumping over the side of the buggy without bothering to open the door.
    â€œI love an eager beaver,” said the Wonderchild as she watched her husky blond companion sprint for the storage shed. The remark sounded sarcastic, but the glow on Wendy’s face showed her true feelings: She couldn’t wait for the fun to start.
    Less than five minutes later the gang was climbing aboard The Merry Wanderer . Rachel took the controls, and they headed out of the small harbor.
    Hap came to stand next to her. “God, I love the smell of the sea air,” he said, taking a deep breath.
    Rachel smiled, enjoying the way the wind tousled his blond hair.
    â€œHave you got that current detector, Ray?” asked Roger.
    â€œI think so.” The Gamma Ray began pulling stuff from his pockets, searching for the homemade device that had already served the gang so well by revealing the microphone that had been planted on Rachel’s collar.
    â€œYou should get a purse,” said Rachel, turning her attention from the open waters to survey the rapidly growing pile at Ray’s feet.
    â€œToo much bother,” said Ray, pulling two quarters loose from an unwrapped caramel in which they had become embedded. “I’d probably forget it every time I put it down.”
    â€œIt looks like you never forget anything,” said Roger, who was continually amazed by the amount of garbage Ray could stuff into his pockets. “What do you need that for?”
    â€œEmergencies,” said Ray, dropping the large rubber lizard that had prompted Roger’s question onto his stack of stuff. “Ah, here’s the current detector. New improved version, actually. I suppose you could call it the current current detector.”
    He held out a small, square device that had several wires protruding from it. “Dad and I added a couple of new twists that really extended its range,” he said proudly. “This baby can pick up the electricity in a hearing aid at thirty paces.”
    â€œWell, climb up on the front of the boat and see if you can pick up Black Glove’s latest transmitter,” said Roger. “If Sherlock is right, it must be planted somewhere near the mouth of the harbor.”
    Ray looked at Roger nervously. “I’m not the world’s greatest swimmer.”
    â€œI’m not asking you to swim. I just want you to use the scanner to see if you can spot the transmitter. You understand how it works better than any of the rest of us. But if you want one of us to go up instead…”
    â€œI didn’t say that!” protested Ray. He glanced around at the others. “I’ll go. Just make sure you pull me out if I fall in.”
    â€œOf course,” said Trip. “If we don’t, we’ll be stuck taking care of all that stuff you had in your pockets.”
    â€œYuk-yuk,” said Ray. Bracing himself on the windshield, he climbed around onto the prow of the boat. Then he lay on his stomach and extended the current detector in front of him.
    While Trip and Hap went below to change into the scuba gear, Rachel began steering the craft in long
