Volume 6 of Grosset & Dunlap's original Tom Swift book series, also known as The Castaways of Earthquake Island, is titled Tom Swift and His Wireless Message. When Tom Swift and his companions decide to test out an experimental blimp off the shore of New Jersey, hurricane winds unexpectedly sweep them out to sea. The unfortunate crew must simply let the storm carry them wherever it will because they are unable to maneuver or navigate without ripping the airship apart. Tom, unfortunately, crashes down on the deserted and decaying Earthquake Island after the storm proves to be too much for the ship. Tom has created a wireless receiver in this instance so that he may send and receive messages. Tom takes his airship, the Red Cloud, on a journey with his buddies, including the eccentric Mr. Damon. Due to the regular little earthquakes on Earthquake Island, they get trapped in a hurricane and crash there.
