Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Witches Cove" by Roy J. Snell is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around two adventurous girls, Ruth Bracket and Betty Bronson, who find themselves drawn into a series of mysterious events while spending summer on the coast of Maine. Their exploration leads them to encounter a beached schooner, seemingly linked to intriguing mysteries, including potential smuggling activities and a crew of pirates who turn out to be something quite different. The opening portion of the book introduces readers to the atmospheric setting of Casco Bay during a moonless night as Ruth and Betty row out in their dory, drawn by their love for mystery and adventure. They stumble upon a beached three-masted schooner, which ignites their curiosity when they see strange bolts of red cloth inside. Their night takes a thrilling turn when they encounter a mysterious dory crewed by men dressed like pirates. After a brief scare, they discover that the supposed pirates are hosting a celebratory gathering aboard the ancient vessel, joined by locals. As the chapter progresses, Ruth and Betty's adventures set the stage for a summer filled with excitement, budding friendships, and unresolved mysteries linked to smuggling and local folklore.
