"Tom Swift and His Wireless Message; Or, The Castaways of Earthquake Island" by Victor Appleton is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. This adventure story follows the young inventor Tom Swift as he receives a telegram from Mr. Hosmer Fenwick, an inventor in trouble with his new electric airship. Tom’s journey leads him to Philadelphia to assist Fenwick, and along the way, he encounters a mix of humorous, exciting, and potentially dangerous situations, characteristic of the Tom Swift series. The opening portion introduces Tom Swift working on his airship in his machine shop when he receives a message from Eradicate Sampson, a comical character accompanied by his mule, Boomerang.
