Catalogue synopsis

Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"Boy Scouts in the Coal Caverns; Or, The Light in Tunnel Six" by Major Archibald Lee Fletcher is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on a group of four Boy Scouts—George Benton, Charley ("Sandy") Green, Tommy Gregory, and Will Smith—who arrive at the Labyrinth mine to assist in searching for two missing boys, Jimmie Maynard and Dick Thompson. As they delve into the treacherous environment of the coal mine, the Scouts encounter mysterious lights and strange noises that suggest they are not alone. At the start of the book, the four scouts meet with Case Canfield, the mine's caretaker, who informs them about the missing boys and hints at possible dangers throughout the mine, including the odd occurrences that have been reported. The boys are quickly instructed to begin their quest beneath the mine's surface, where their adventure takes a suspenseful turn as they hear strange noises and even the calls of another patrol, suggesting the presence of other Scouts. The opening chapters lay the groundwork for a thrilling exploration filled with mystery as the boys navigate through underground tunnels while trying to uncover the fate of Jimmie and Dick.
