  The Boy Scouts of the Eagle Patrol.

  A fascinating narrative of the doings of some bright boys who becomepart of the great Boy Scout movement. The first of a series dealingwith this organization, which has caught on like wild fire amonghealthy boys of all ages and in all parts of the country.

  While in no sense a text-book, the volume deals, amid its excitingadventures, with the practical side of Scouting. To Rob Blake and hiscompanions in the Eagle Patrol, surprising, and sometimes perilousthings happen constantly. But the lads, who are, after all, typical ofmost young Americans of their type, are resourceful enough to overcomeevery one of their dangers and difficulties.

  How they discover the whereabouts of little Joe, the "kid" of thepatrol, by means of smoke telegraphy and track his abductors to theirdisgrace; how they assist the passengers of a stranded steamer and foila plot to harm and perhaps kill an aged sea-captain, one must read thebook to learn. A swift-moving narrative of convincing interest andbreathless incident.
