MOTOR MATT'S DEFIANCE
OR,
AROUND THE HORN.
By the author of MOOR 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. 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. 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. John Henry Glennie, Ensign, U. S. N. , representing the U. S. Government on board the Grampus during her long trip around South America. Captain Enrique Sandoval , of the Chilian warship Salvadore , a sailor who has a faculty for gathering wrong opinions, and an equal facility for setting himself right and doing justice to those whom his mistaken ideas have wronged. Captain Ichi , and other officers as well as the crew of the mysterious steamship which plays many parts and sails under many flags, the Sons of the Rising Sun, fanatic patriots of Young Japan, to whom nothing is considered valueless that benefits Nippon! Garcia and his four comrades , escaped convicts from the penal settlement at Punta Arenas. Gaines, Speake and Clackett , crew of the Grampus .
