Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Ocean Wireless Boys and the Lost Liner" by Captain Wilbur Lawton is a fictional adventure novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows two young protagonists, Jack Ready and Sam Smalley, who work as wireless operators aboard the West Indian liner, "Tropic Queen". As they navigate the challenges of their maritime roles, a series of mysterious events unfolds, including a potential storm and a strange passenger with dubious intentions. The opening of the book introduces readers to the "Tropic Queen" plowing through the sea, where Jack is settling into his new position as Chief Wireless Operator. The narrative quickly establishes a sense of urgency as Jack notes warnings of an impending storm while also encountering peculiar passenger James Jarrold, who seems overly interested in communications from a yacht called the "Endymion". Tension builds as Jack and his assistant, Sam, grapple with a sudden distress call that hints at trouble beyond their immediate concerns, foreshadowing a deeper mystery involving the presumed villainy of Jarrold and the significant role of wireless communication in their adventure at sea.
