Basic adventure but with a boat that is incredibly fast runs on transmitted crystalline energy and can fire torpedoes. Science of tiny wavelengths. Missing lots of chapters. Other chapters on Trove suggests its a fast boat against another fast boat and a strong dutchman is the enemy. It gets more SF near the end with pulling about the power transmission system. Fliegende Schaum Bainbridge Thermionic Controlling Systems remote control motors crystal driven power transmission across space. A similar science fiction engine was used in Doctor Who Terror of the Zygons in 1975.
