Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The River Motor Boat Boys on the Mississippi; Or, On the Trail to the Gulf" by Harry Gordon is a children’s adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a group of boys who embark on a journey down the Mississippi River aboard their motor boat, the Rambler. The tale is filled with excitement as they encounter various challenges, including encounters with potential outlaws and a mysterious waif. At the start of the story, the scene is set on the Rambler, where the boys, Alex, Clayton, and their pets—a bulldog named Captain Joe and a bear cub named Teddy—are preparing a meal. The tranquility is interrupted by a rough-looking riverman warning them about the dangers of navigating the swollen river without a pilot. The boys are playful and defiant, demonstrating their adventurous spirits. The opening culminates in the unexpected arrival of a runaway boy who begs for shelter, hinting at greater dangers and mysteries ahead. This introduction sets the stage for a wild adventure with camaraderie, humor, and suspense as the boys navigate both the river and the challenges they encounter along the way.
