| Summary |
"The River Motor Boat Boys on the Ohio; Or, The Three Blue Lights" by Harry Gordon is a fictional adventure tale likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows a group of young boys, specifically Clayton, Alex, Jule, and Cornelius, as they navigate the Ohio River in their motorboat, the "Rambler". Throughout their journey, they encounter thrilling escapades, encounter the challenges of their broken motor, and interact with both friendly and dangerous characters along the way. The opening of the book introduces the boys as they find themselves in a predicament with their boat's motor, which has malfunctioned and left them stranded in an eddy on the Kentucky side of the river. As they ponder solutions, they decide some members of the group should venture into nearby towns to procure spark plugs for the motor. Meanwhile, the boys reminisce about the wild game they want to hunt, emphasizing their youth and adventurous spirit. Their plans are complicated by the presence of potential river pirates and shady characters on other boats, offering a hint of the dangers that lie ahead as they strive to continue their journey toward new adventures.
