After filling up his bag with pearls, Fritz Robinson discovers a message written on a rag attached to an albatross' leg. The message purports to be from a stranded Englishwoman claiming to be stuck on a "smoking rock" or volcano. As there are no volcanoes around, Fritz figures that the message must have come from a long way away. Though tracking down the stranded lady will be like looking for a needle in a haystack, Fritz sets out to find her anyway, filling up his kayak with plenty of provisions for the long, arduous journey ahead. Before returning home, Fritz had the presence of mind to write his own message on the rag which he reattached to the albatross' leg. In the message, he told the lady not to despair and that help was on its way.
