Second Wave (comic story)

Opening narration box
The Doctor and Martha follow the two groups of thieving aliens to the 19th century …

Summary
The TARDIS arrives onboard an American merchant sailing ship, and the Doctor and Martha are soon apprehended by the crew. They are about be thrown overboard, having been mistaken for French agents by Captain Ross (a belief attributed to the trade war between America and France which was about due to end in the next year). Before this can happen, the ship is attacked by alien robbers in their own crafts that pull up on either side. As the sailing ship tries to make its escape, the Doctor is busy using the ship's rations to create a a mulch. When fired from a harpoon gun, it clogs the air intake valves of one of the alien crafts and disables their weapon. As one ship begins to sink, the Doctor climbs along the ship's bowsprit to reach the now very close, other alien ship. Using his sonic screwdriver and selecting setting 34-H the Doctor sinks the second alien craft. As the aliens transport away again the Doctor is warned not to interfere in the contest. The Doctor and Martha head off in pursuit in the TARDIS.
