The Six River Motor Boat Boys on the St. Lawrence; Or, The Lost Channel

Four boys. One motorboat. A river steeped in legend and danger. When a mysterious stranger paddles out to their anchored vessel on the St. Lawrence with a sealed package containing a crude map and cryptic warnings, the boys of the Rambler find themselves drawn into a quest for a lost channel and the treasure it conceals. Clayton Emmett, Alex Smithwick, Julian Shafer, and Cornelius Witters must navigate treacherous waters, decode ancient instructions, and face strange threats that emerge from the river's foggy reaches. The warnings come hard and fast: do not interfere, they are told, but some mysteries demand to be solved. As the boys press deeper into the waterway's hidden reaches, they discover that the lost channel holds secrets worth killing for. This is early twentieth-century adventure at its purest: boys testing their courage against rivers, riddles, and the thrill of the unknown.
