The Radio Boys in the Thousand Islands; Or, The Yankee-Canadian Wireless Trail

Three teenage wireless enthusiasts spend a summer in the Thousand Islands and become entangled in a radio-centered mystery. Using their wireless apparatus, some basic geography, and careful observation, they trace puzzling signals, investigate deserted camps and diary entries, and follow S O S calls to uncover imprisoned men and hostile impostors eavesdropping on transmissions. The narrative moves through episodes of surveillance, pursuit, a hostage crisis, and a final reckoning that includes a lesson about practical responsibility. Technical descriptions of early wireless practice and collaborative problem-solving drive the plot and the boys' development.
