Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Radio Boys in the Secret Service; Or, Cast Away on an Iceberg" by J.W. Duffield is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the adventures of the Burton twin brothers, Walter and Guy, who are both passionate about wireless telegraphy and technology. As they embark on a journey to London for medical treatment involving Guy's eyesight, they become embroiled in a mystery that entails a potential highwayman and a hidden agenda involving espionage. At the start of the book, we are introduced to the Burton twins and their close bond, particularly as they prepare for Guy's trip to England, accompanied by their mother. The narrative sets the stage for a blend of adventurous escapades and technological intrigue, hinting at the presence of a mysterious stranger, Mr. Pickett, who appears to be following the Burtons. As they travel, Guy's health struggles and their interest in wireless communications become central themes, while the involvement of the stranger foreshadows potential danger ahead. The opening captivates the reader with a mix of familial warmth and the excitement of impending adventure.
