About This Book

A patrol of Boy Scouts stages water-sport contests and sea outings, confronts local bullies and two mysterious newcomers, and investigates schemes that lead them through secret passages and wooded encounters. Technical novelties such as motor scooters and an army airship become central to daring rescues, races, and a nighttime chase, while accidents and a fire force the boys to improvise and cooperate. Along the way, friendships are tested, enemies reappear, and one youth gains the experience of flight during climactic action that ties together rescues, a schooner in distress, and a sudden, dramatic resolution.
