Motor Matt's Quest;
OR,
THREE CHUMS IN STRANGE WATERS.
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. Hays Jordan , United States consul at Belize. A man of pluck and determination, who furnishes valuable information about his friend, Jeremiah Coleman, and even more valuable personal services during the rescue of Coleman. Jeremiah Coleman , another United States consul who has been spirited away by Central American revolutionists in the hope of driving a sharp bargain with the United States Government for the release of a captured filibuster named James Sixty. Tirzal , a half-breed mahogany-cutter who serves Jordan in the capacity of spy, and who has been a pilot along the coast. Speake, Gaines and Clackett , part of the crew of the Grampus . Cassidy , mate of the Grampus who, because of a fancied grievance, takes the wrong trail at the forks of the road. An old friend whom Matt found to be an enemy and then made a friend again. Abner Fingal , skipper of the notorious schooner, North Star , and brother of James Sixty, to whose evil nature Motor Matt owes most of his present troubles. Captain Nemo, Jr. , skipper of the submarine, Grampus , and who falls victim to a sudden illness. Because of the captain's sickness, Matt is placed in command of the Grampus . Ysabel Sixty , an old acquaintance who plays an important part in the story.
