Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Roy Blakeley's Funny-Bone Hike" by Percy Keese Fitzhugh is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a group of Boy Scouts, led by Roy Blakeley, as they embark on a humorous and unpredictable hike filled with misadventures and camaraderie. The whimsical tone and the antics of the characters, particularly Roy and his fellow scouts, create a lighthearted atmosphere that highlights themes of friendship and exploration. At the start of this novel, the protagonist Roy introduces himself and the members of his scouting troop as they set off for Catskill Landing. They are excited and full of energy, embracing spontaneous fun as they sing silly songs while hiking. The opening chapters establish a sense of adventure and chaos as they find themselves lost and facing comedic predicaments, involving wrong turns and misunderstandings. Each character brings their unique personality to the assembly, making their journey both wacky and engaging as they navigate their way back to Temple Camp during what they affectionately dub the "Funny-Bone Hike."
