When his great grandmother tells him that an ancestor was saved by a ‘ghostly hand’, Jeremy is astonished. Also, his real body stays at home, holding a magnifying glass, looking at a stamp, while he’s off travelling. Jeremy realizes that he really is a ‘ghost’ on these trips he is invisible, although he can touch and move things which only adds to the sailors’ already powerful suspicions about ghosts. On his next trip, aboard a ship called The Nonsuch, he’s sailing through the icy waters of Hudson Bay. His first trip is to a paddlewheel steamer called The Northcote, which just happens to be in the middle of a battle during the Northwest Rebellion. He picked up the magnifying glass for a quick look, and the next thing he knew, he was standing on the deck of the ship! And it wasn’t just one stamp that worked, it happened again. It all started when Jeremy opened that stamp book that his great grandmother sent.
