"The Call of the Beaver Patrol; Or, A Break in the Glacier" by G. Harvey Ralphson is a novel written in the early 20th century. This adventure story centers around a group of Boy Scouts, particularly the Beaver Patrol, as they embark on a mysterious mission involving the search for two missing boys in an abandoned coal mine. Their journey is filled with suspense and camaraderie as they encounter various dangers and challenges in the depths of the mine, testing their bravery and teamwork. The opening of the story introduces Case Canfield, the caretaker of the Labyrinth mine, who recruits four Boy Scouts—Will Smith, George Benton, Tommy Gregory, and Sandy Green—to help locate the two lost boys, Jimmie Maynard and Dick Thompson. As they settle into a makeshift camp in the mine, an adventure begins that combines elements of mystery and exploration. They hear strange noises and see unusual lights in the mine, fueling their curiosity and determination to uncover the truth behind the boys' disappearance. The narrative hints at deeper secrets lurking within the mine, as well as the possibility of danger posed by characters like a suspicious detective, suggesting an enthralling blend of adventure and intrigue ahead.
