About This Book

A high‑school rowing crew prepares for a four‑mile regatta while confronting deliberate sabotage, theft, and a series of river mishaps that threaten their chances. Friends inspect a mysterious hole, replug a leaking boat, and respond to a stolen eight‑oared shell, night alarms, and a sunken skiff as rival schools and pranksters escalate tensions. Training, investigation, and loyal teamwork gradually reveal the conspirators and resolve personal rivalries, leading to a tense championship race in which skill, courage, and camaraderie decide both the sporting contest and outstanding mysteries.
