0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. First in the series of six - juvenile wireless fiction - half decent read By Robert A. Voss This is the first in the series. The main character, Jack, is 16 years old. He has taught himself 'wireless telegraphy' and is hunting for his first job on a ship. He has no luck – he's too young and has no experience. Wireless is still very new but ships are being retrofitted with it. One day he is on the docks after a fruitless search for employment. A young girl falls off a pier, and the folks nearby stand around helpless. Jack dives into the water and rescues the young girl. It turns out she is the daughter of a very prominent ship line owner. Not long after, Jack finds himself the wireless operator on a oil tanker headed from the US to Antwerp and back.Along the way, he runs into Billy Raynor – a machinist on the ship who also has an interest in the wireless. They'll be together in all the stories throughout the series.You learn a bit about routine ship traffic, weather reports, position reports being sent. The range of the ship is at beast 200 miles or so with their setup. There's all sorts of adventures once they reach Antwerp, the usual get in trouble situations, and so on. You learn a bit about the history of the area and the sightseeing sights. Then it's headed back to NY city and more adventures on shore. Jack helps catch a tobacco smuggling ring, but later has a run in with the friends of those convicted of the crime.So it's off on a second trip to Europe. Not much happens on the way over. On the way back, the ship, the Ajax, hits an iceberg but can be patched up. Not long after, they pick up an SOS from the yacht Halcyon. This happens to be the private yacht of the owner of the ship company. The yacht caught fire and is slowly sinking, and the crew must abandon her. Jack picks up the message and the Ajax is close enough to implement a rescue.There's 300 pages of adventure and it's probably the best book in the entire series. The first ones usually are – then they tend to be repetitive and go downhill, although there's enough left over for a couple more books.Jack and Billy Raynor go on to five more adventures in the books of the day. 50 cents for a hardcover book back in the 1915 era.You can read this one on line at:[...]or cheap Kindle editions. There are even some paper books around if that is your thing.
