A dog whose master belongs to a volunteer lifeboat crew tells how a quiet day turns exciting when a storm engulfs a sailboat and the rescue crew mobilizes. Details of the English fishing village and of the rescue machinery seem authentic in both the text and in the soft-edged illustrations of scenes often viewed from afar. The narrator dog's parallel rescue of Sinbad, a pooch aboard the sailboat, is less believable.
