1920
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.
