"The Motor Boat Club and The Wireless; Or, the Dot, Dash and Dare Cruise" by H. Irving Hancock is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story focuses on three boys, Tom Halstead, Joe Dawson, and Hank Butts, who are members of the Motor Boat Club and embark on a thrilling maritime journey filled with mystery and intrigue. As they navigate the waters off the coast of North Carolina, they encounter a sense of urgency and danger in their task to rescue a passenger from a sinking vessel, which sets the stage for their adventures. The opening of the story depicts the boys languishing on a remote island, feeling bored and restless until a wireless message propels them into action. When Joe Dawson receives an urgent call for help, he swiftly rouses his friends to prepare the motor yacht "Restless" for a rescue mission. The boys quickly learn that the passenger, Mr. Clodis, is gravely injured, and their task transforms into a life-and-death endeavor involving fast-paced navigation and intrigue surrounding Mr. Powell Seaton, their mysterious employer. With the promise of excitement that lies ahead, the trio sets off to confront unknown challenges and unravels deeper secrets that will unfold as their journey continues.
