Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Panther Eye" by Roy J. Snell is a mystery novel aimed primarily at young readers, written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a stark, adventurous setting as it follows Johnny Thompson, a boxing champion, who embarks on an expedition in Siberia during the tumult of post-revolutionary Russia. The narrative kicks off with the mysterious death of a crew member, Frank Langlois, and introduces a cast of intriguing characters, including the enigmatic Pant, who exhibits curious abilities that hint at deeper complexities. The opening portion of the book establishes a gripping atmosphere filled with suspense and danger. As Johnny and Pant navigate through a dark mine, they discover the body of Langlois, prompting urgent questions about the circumstances of his death. The tension escalates with the looming threats of hostile natives and the notorious Bolsheviki, creating a haunting backdrop where trust and survival hang by a thread. Amidst this turmoil, Johnny reflects on the precariousness of their gold mining venture, driven by a noble cause to assist orphans in Vladivostok, while at every turn, mysterious forces and adversaries complicate their mission.
