Catalogue synopsis

Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"Motor Matt's Peril; or, Cast Away in the Bahamas" by Stanley R. Matthews is an adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the daring escapades of Matt King, a skilled young motorist known for his athletic abilities, along with his friends Carl Pretzel and Dick Ferral. They embark on a journey that takes them from Atlantic City to the Bahamas, facing challenges and intrigue related to a stolen submarine and a mysterious treasure." "The beginning of the story introduces the characters on a beach in Atlantic City, where Carl Pretzel humorously attempts to rescue a girl from what he perceives to be pirates, inadvertently interrupting a film shoot. This leads to a series of comedic realizations and encounters, including the arrival of Motor Matt, who joins Carl in the fray. The unfolding drama sets the stage for a deeper plot involving the theft of a submarine, the pursuit of treasure purportedly hidden on a Bahamian island, and the boys' determination to right the wrongs that ensue. As they prepare for an aerial adventure, intriguing twists already hint at the perils they will face ahead."
