Wilbur is sure Scagrim, the sea witch, is behind it. Wilbur has secretly got one of the Jewels of the Sea, and can control the wind and waves. Whoever has possession of all three Jewels will be unstoppable. Scagrim couldn't possibly be after him, could she?When Wilbur's dad, Captain Woodblack, and his crew go missing, Wilbur knows it's time for a rescue mission.
