The two vessels, a freighter and a luxurious yacht, executed intri- cate manoeuvers under orders of Director Paul Sloane, who, on the bridge, of the freighter," gave dir- ections over short wave apparatus to the pilot aboard the yacht.

The yacht, which was supposed to be deserted and sailing 3.0 erratic course with motors wide

The movements had to be made not only with a view toward the safety of the two boats, but toward The the camera values entalled, radio enabled the director to keep in touch with both pilots at the same time.

"Terror Aboard" centers around a nend, who, to escape arrest when the luxurious yacht which he owns touches
