520 _a"The Motor Boys on the Pacific; Or, the Young Derelict Hunters" by Clarence Young is a children’s adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows three young boys—Jerry, Ned, and Bob—as they embark on a thrilling journey across the continent to the Pacific coast, where they will search for a mysterious derelict after the tragic loss of their beloved motor boat, the "Dartaway". At the start of the book, the boys are devastated to learn via telegram that their motor boat has been wrecked during shipping. This news prompts them to seek damages from the freight company, but they remain hopeful for new adventures. After receiving letters from their friend Nellie Seabury, who invites them to visit her family in California, they decide to make the journey out west. Along the way, unexpected events unfold, including a dangerous race against their rival, Noddy Nixon, and encounters with mysterious characters that hint at further adventures yet to come. The opening chapters set in motion a tale filled with friendship, excitement, and the promise of exploration, making the book an exciting read for young adventurers.
