About This Book

A band of young cadets from a military boarding school take part in athletics and an annual encampment during wartime, where routine camp life gives way to danger: mysterious explosions at a munitions plant, a lake rescue, and the discovery of a wrecked submarine draw the boys into investigation. Through resourceful sleuthing, improvised seamanship, and tense shipboard confrontations they uncover a plot, confront antagonists, and secure an important capture, after which school routines resume and the mystery is resolved.
