Another of Nancy’s amazing adventures, but this one has a time limit! Nancy boards an ocean liner headed to New York, and is startled to see someone on the dock mention her name in the American Sign Language, the message reads _EWARE OF NANCY DREW AND NE... the rest of the sentence cut off because someone obstructs her view. This leads Nancy to wonder a number of questions, like why was the person on the dock using sign language to communicate, and who in NE? Quickly after boarding the ship and seeing the message, Nancy finds a stranger in her cabin! The stranger’s name is Nelda! She was blamed for a robbery, and was going away because she was innocent. Of course, Nancy tries to help Nelda, and in doing so discovers that some passengers may not be totally truthful. Can Nancy solve the mystery before she reaches New York?
