Motor Matt in Brazil;
OR,
UNDER THE AMAZON.
By the author of MOTOR MATT.
Motor Matt , a lad who is at home with every variety of motor, and whose never-failing nerve serves to carry him through difficulties that would daunt any ordinary young fellow. Because of his daring as a racer with bicycle, motor-cycle and automobile he is known as Mile-a-minute Matt. Motor-boats, air ships and submarines come naturally in his line, and consequently he lives in an atmosphere of adventure in following up his hobby. Dick Ferral , a young sea dog from Canada, with all a sailor's superstitions, but in spite of all that a royal chum, ready to stand by the friend of his choice through thick and thin. Carl Pretzel , a cheerful and rollicking German boy, stout of frame as well as of heart, who is led by a fortunate accident to link his fortunes with those of Motor Matt. Ensign Glennie , representing the U. S. Government on board the Grampus during her long trip around South America. Tolo , a valiant though unscrupulous Japanese patriot anxious to die for his country. Mr. Brigham , our consul at Para, Brazil, who proves to be the right kind of man for the job. Clackett , Speake , Gaines , } the crew of the submarine marvel.
THE CACHALOT.
Look at the chart, Dick. Unless I'm off in my reckoning, those blue things in the distance, that look like clouds, are the mountains of Trinidad.
Right-o, matey! The Gulf of Paria is to the south, and right ahead of us is the Boca Drago, or Dragon's Mouth, the entrance to the Gulf. What's our first port-of-call?
Georgetown. That's where we're to pick up the midshipman.
But we're two days ahead of time, and he won't be expecting us. Why not put in at Port-of-Spain for a little social call? I was there once, on the old Billy Ruffin , and it's a fine place for getting on your go-ashores and seeing the sights.
