Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Frank Reade, Jr., and His Electric Ice Ship; or, Driven Adrift in the Frozen Sky" by “Noname” is a serialized adventure story likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around the young inventor Frank Reade, Jr., who embarks on a daring journey to rescue a kidnapped boy named Walter Grey from a treacherous whaler, the Red Eric, after he has been shanghaied by a villainous lawyer. The thrilling tale features elements of science fiction as Frank utilizes his inventions, particularly a flying ice ship, to navigate the perilous Arctic regions. The opening of the story sets a dramatic tone, introducing Frank Reade, Jr. as he witnesses the abduction of Walter Grey in Boston by unscrupulous sailors and the corrupt lawyer Alfred Milburn. Following an unfortunate encounter where Frank is injured, he becomes determined to save Walter after encountering his distraught mother, Mrs. Grey. As the narrative unfolds, it lays the groundwork for a series of suspenseful escapades, including Frank’s technological ingenuity, the peculiar challenges of the Arctic landscape, and the menacing threats posed by his adversaries, all while maintaining a light-hearted camaraderie through lively characters like the Irishman Barney O'Shea and the comedic coon, Pomp.
