About This Book

A troop of Boy Scout explorers undertake an expedition into a remote valley to investigate an emerald mine and confront hazards including hidden nitroglycerin, bandits, an earth slide, and missing companions. The narrative follows their tracking of suspicious figures, discovery of caches and maps, encounters with a mysterious company agent and a bandit leader, and coordinated efforts to rescue and recover their lost fellows amid jungle trails, a banana plantation, and a racing stream. Signals, police involvement, and orders from Bogota complicate the mission, which concludes with a dramatic flight and the scouts' return home.
