Detective Comics #8

Fred Dunn escapes San Sin Jail and Speed is assigned to the case. Both board a passenger ship but Dunn jumps overboard and Speed follows. They are picked up by a fishing boat. The captain refuses to put into shore, so they become crew members for the duration. Dunn saves the skipper from drowning. When they get to New Bedford Speed phones his boss, only to learn that Dunn has been cleared of all charges. Dunn returns to the ship, works hard and eventually becomes skipper of his own ship.
