The rescue mission is going swimmingly. Expert infiltrator ‘Lanky’ McFadden has left a trail of snapped necks and discarded millinery in his wake, but he’s yet to be noticed – at least, not by anyone who survives.

This puts him in range of a discarded boxing-glove hat, which in turn launches him into the waiting mouth of a shark.
