| Summary | "The Ocean Wireless Boys on War Swept Seas" by Captain Wilbur Lawton is a boys' adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on two young protagonists, Jack Ready and Bill Raynor, who find themselves embarking on a turbulent journey aboard the "Kronprinzessin Emilie", a liner set to carry a fortune in gold across the Atlantic. Their voyage quickly spirals into chaos as they become entangled in the impending turmoil of World War I, dealing with secret missions, British cruisers on the prowl, and the dangers of the sea. At the start of the adventure, the boys board the luxurious liner, excited about their holiday but unaware of the brewing political storm. They soon learn that their ship carries a hefty treasure when Jack learns the British navy has identified it as their target. As the narrative unfolds, the boys' routine shifts to survival mode as they confront British warships attempting to seize the ship, navigate icebergs, and engage in diplomatic tensions on the high seas. The opening chapters introduce intriguing characters, invite readers into a world of espionage and naval conflict, and set the stage for Jack and Bill's bold exploits as they navigate a battle-scarred ocean and attempt to safeguard both the ship and its precious cargo.
