"The Red Lure" by Roy J. Snell is a novel written in the early 20th century. This adventure story centers around Johnny Thompson, a daring young boy navigating the treacherous Rio Hondo in British Honduras as he seeks out mythic treasure known as the "red lure." Set against the backdrop of a lush yet perilous jungle, the narrative unfolds with themes of mystery, danger, and camaraderie. At the start of the story, Johnny finds himself alone by the Black River, contemplating ominous sounds in the jungle that suggest he may not be alone. The atmosphere is thick with tension as he prepares to return to his camp, only to discover it disturbingly vacant. As he attempts to make sense of the absence of his companions, he encounters clues suggesting he is being watched, including a mysterious half-Spanish foreman, Petillo. The narrative builds suspense as Johnny reflects on his quest for the elusive treasure and his confrontation with the dangers of the wilderness, including potential threats from both man and beast. The opening sets the stage for an adventurous tale filled with peril, mystery, and the determination to face the unknown. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
