Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Young Engineers on the Gulf" by H. Irving Hancock is an adventure novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows two young engineers, Tom Reade and Harry Hazelton, who are tasked with constructing a crucial breakwater on the Gulf of Mexico in Alabama. As they navigate the challenges of their work, they become embroiled in a mysterious situation filled with danger, as external threats and sabotage lurk around them. At the start of the tale, the tension is palpable as Tom and Harry venture out on a dark night to inspect their construction site. They are not alone; a sinister presence stalks them, leading to an encounter with an unknown figure that results in a struggle and Harry's subsequent disappearance. As Tom races against time to find his friend and protect their work, hints of sabotage through explosions at the breakwater surface, foreshadowing a deeper conflict. The narrative captures the gritty reality of engineering challenges intertwined with themes of friendship, bravery, and the pursuit of justice against rather treacherous yet intriguing circumstances.
