Motor Boat Boys Down the Coast; or, Through Storm and Stress to Florida

A group of young friends set out on a motorboat cruise down the Atlantic coast toward Florida, combining seaside camping and nautical competition with serious maritime danger. Their journey alternates between convivial shore gatherings, meals, and mechanical rivalries, and tense incidents such as storms at sea, fog, wireless distress messages, and a dramatic meeting with a hydro-aeroplane and lighthouse-guarded coast. Practical seamanship, quick thinking, and help from other mariners and pilots carry the flotilla through rescues and navigational hazards, culminating in arrival at southern ports after a sequence of weather-bound trials and cooperative problem solving.
