Admiral Champion.

We ship owners beg you to continue your investigation... ...to clear up this mystery of the South Pacific.

All this publicity of missing ships... ...especially the publicity about the Hoyt Yacht... ...has ruined our Pacific shipping.

Why, we can't even sign up a crew to ship on our boat.

I tell you, Admiral, this mystery must be cleared up.

May I make a suggestion, Admiral?

Don't bother to try and see where I am, gentlemen.

You can't see me.

I am the Shadow.

The Shadow?

I do have the power of invisibility to conceal my being and my emotions from assisting authorities in...

Maintaining law and order and peace.

Can you help us solve this mystery of the graveyard of the Pacific?

I think that possibly I can, gentlemen.
