Contents
- The new gleaming red postal rocket was all set for its flight round the world to deliver the mails. Tas and his friend, Bluey, take a chance and slip inside the rocket to have a look round. Thanks to Bluey's tampering, the rocket, to their horror, takes off, and neither of them has the slightest idea of how to control it. How are they to get back? What will happen if they crash or have to land somewhere, perhaps in a desert? What is to be done about the mail with which the rocket is loaded? and what about the reception that will await them if they do get back?
