About This Book

A band of school companions depart their military-style academy for a summer canoe and lake voyage, mixing sports, races, and camp life with harsher incidents such as boat fights, storms, and nighttime surprises. Their trip follows rivers and lakes into island-studded waterways and a nearby city, where an unfolding mystery brings important discoveries, a capture, and the intervention of revenue officers. The narrative traces the boys’ seamanship, camaraderie, and problem-solving as they confront danger and conclude the journey back home.
