SCOVILLE, SAMUEL, jr. Blue pearl. il *$1.75 (3c) Century
20–17413
This story introduces all the characters of “Boy scouts in the wilderness.” Jim Donegan, the lumber king, offers to give the boys $50,000 if they will bring a blue pearl like the one Joe Couteau, the Indian boy, remembers to have seen in his childhood. Joe and Will Bright, the heroes of the earlier book, with two chosen companions, start on the quest. It takes them out to the Pacific coast and into the far north to the old home of Joe’s people, and after many adventures they return with the prize.
