Out of the depths of jungle and forest comes a story intriguing and full of mystery. The very setting -- the tropics of British Honduras and the Caribbean Sea -- conjures up visions of pirates and buccaneers, of adventure, mystery, and peril lurking at every step in the jungle.
This is really a dual story, following the adventures of two boy chums, but the incidents are so interwoven as to constitute a delightful whole. They have a common enemy, a crafty, unscrupulous Spaniard, and the action centers around the efforts of the boys to circumvent his plots to rob those dear to them.
Carib Indians, old Spanish Dons, Maya caves, and hidden treasures all lend mystery and enchantment to the tale. Action is fast and furious. The lure of the tropics is strong, and against this background Mr. Snell has woven a story that will satisfy even the most adventure-loving
