| Summary | "Motor Matt's Defiance; or, Around the Horn" by Stanley R. Matthews is a thrilling adventure novel written in the early 20th century. It follows the daring escapades of Motor Matt, a young mechanic skilled in operating various motor vehicles, including submarines, as he navigates treacherous situations and confronts enemies at sea. The narrative combines elements of suspense and excitement, centering around themes of bravery and cunning in the face of adversity. The opening of the story introduces the young hero, Motor Matt, and his friends as they operate the submarine Grampus, while they fall into both excitement and danger. After rescuing five Chilean convicts from an overturned boat, their situation complicates as they confront treachery from those very convicts, leading to an arrest by the Chilian Navy. Tensions escalate as Matt strives to navigate the challenges presented by the convicts and their connections, all while trying to protect the submarine from potential threats posed by mysterious foreign adversaries. This early intrigue sets the stage for a gripping oceanic adventure filled with unexpected twists and moral dilemmas. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
