Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Motor Rangers on Blue Water; or, The Secret of the Derelict" by Marvin West is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. This adventure story follows a group of young characters known as the Motor Rangers, particularly focusing on Nat Trevor and his companions, as they navigate the challenges posed by outlaws while attempting to transport a valuable box of sapphires across the sea. With themes of teamwork, bravery, and the thrill of adventure, the book aims to captivate a youthful audience interested in tales of exploration and daring. The opening of the novel introduces a group of four horsemen—Nat Trevor, Joe Hartley, Ding-dong Bell, and their companion Cal Gifford—descending a rugged trail toward the coastal town of Santa Inez. They are in high spirits and discussing the arrival of Nat's motorboat, the "Nomad," which they plan to use to safely transport sapphires they have found in an abandoned miner's hut. The group is unaware that Ed. Dayton, an associate of a known outlaw named Colonel Morello, has been watching them, intent on seizing the sapphires. The narrative sets up both the adventure awaiting the boys and the looming threat posed by their adversaries, setting the stage for an exhilarating journey filled with danger and excitement.
