Sunny, Violet and Klaus Bauldare were marooned from an Island from a storm. They were adrift in a taboggon. A submarine saved them. They were in Captain Widdershins sub.

"He who hesitates is lost."

A Series of Unfortunate Events p. 33

They met Fiona, the captains step daughter.

"The amount of treachery in this world is enormous, and the best we could do is one noble thing."

A Series of Unfortunate Events p. 59

Another sub was after them. It was in the shape of an octopus with a metal dome for a head. Another sub rescued them. Klaus may have figured out why the sugar bowl is important, but not where it is.

"The poisons of some deadly fungus can be the source of some wonderful medicines."

A Series of Unfortunate Events p. 106

They were in a cave and they found lights that spelled out "VFD"

Then they found themselves trapped in a cave by mushrooms. They waited until the mushrooms went back or wanned until they left. They arrived to an empty sub. They found a poisonous mushroom in Sunny's helmet.

The submarine was about to be intercepted by Count Olafs sub. Count Olaf took the kids to the brig where they met the hooked henchman which was Fiona's brother.

Fiona and her brother and the children were now on a mission to save Sunny. Sunny was saved by the Wasabi in place of Horseradish. She gave the Wasabi to Klaus back in the cave.

"Reading poetry, even if you are only reading it to find a secret message hidden within its words, can often give one a feeling of power, the way you can feel powerful if you are the only one who bought an umbrella on a rainy day, or the only one who knows how to untie knots when you're taken hostage. With each poem the children felt more and more powerful--or they might have said in their food code more and more wasabi--and by the time the two volunteers were interrupted they felt as if the tables just might have been continuing to turn."

A Series of Unfortunate Events p. 270-271

The children had to stick a porthole with gum and glue it back in place. They saw a creature not known to them. Mr. Poe awaited their arrival on Briny Beach. However they got into a taxi, which was driven by Kit Snickett.
