E-text prepared by Roger Frank and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"Curlie Carson Listens In" by Roy J. Snell is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Curlie Carson, a talented young radio operator who becomes entangled in a web of intrigue and mystery as he attempts to track down illegal radio transmissions causing potential harm to ships at sea. As Curlie navigates the complexities of radio communication and detection, he encounters various characters, including a wealthy millionaire and his daughter, who play significant roles in a broader plot involving adventure, danger, and the quest for hidden treasure. The opening of the novel introduces Curlie in his secret radio tower, where he listens for suspicious transmissions. He recalls a peculiar message he intercepted: "A slight breeze from the west," which leads him to investigate its origin, ultimately tracing it to a luxurious hotel. Soon, Curlie is thrown into action as he balances the responsibilities of a radio detective while interacting with characters such as his friend Joe Marion and the enigmatic Gladys Ardmore, the millionaire’s daughter. The chapter sets up a series of thrilling escapades that promise not only to test Curlie’s skills but also to intertwine his fate with that of the Ardmore family, as they all unwittingly become involved in a dangerous adventure concerning a mysterious map and a legendary island filled with gold.
