About This Book

Four experienced Boy Scouts take a paid assignment at an almost deserted coal breaker to locate two missing young workers after a lawyer hires the caretaker to continue the search. They probe the closed mine, contend with a slack detective, and follow clues that lead them to investigate a particular Tunnel Six where unexplained lights and noises have been reported. The narrative traces their systematic underground search, practical problem-solving, and encounters with perilous, mysterious conditions that challenge their skills and courage.
