Summary "The Boys of Columbia High on the River: or, The Boat Race Plot That Failed" by Graham B. Forbes is a children’s adventure novel written in the early 20th century. This story centers around Frank Allen and his friend Lanky Wallace, who find themselves in a predicament after their boat is sabotaged, leading to a series of humorous and suspenseful events as they prepare for an upcoming boat race. The narrative's lively tone and engaging plot suggest themes of friendship, rivalry, and the challenges of growing up. At the start of the book, Frank and Lanky are marooned on Rattail Island after discovering a hole bored intentionally in their boat, likely by a rival student named Lef Seller. As they attempt to repair their boat under the light of a campfire, they discuss their recent experiences and the competitive atmosphere surrounding their school sports. Soon after, their boat encounters trouble when a motorboat crashes into it, causing them to end up in the water. This initial conflict sets the stage for their determination to uncover the culprit behind the boat sabotage and highlights their camaraderie as they navigate various challenges together. Additionally, the opening establishes the playful yet competitive spirit of the boys as they engage with the world of school sports and rivalries. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
