Summary "The Submarine Hunters: A Story of Naval Patrol Work in the Great War" by Percy F. Westerman is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around two young friends, Ross Trefusis and Vernon Haye, who become embroiled in naval patrol work during World War I. Set against the backdrop of the war, the story engages the readers with themes of adventure, espionage, and the challenges faced by the protagonists as they uncover a plot involving German spies and submarines. At the start of the novel, we meet the two boys who have mistakenly grounded their sailing boat on St. Mena's Island. While exploring the island, they become suspicious of a stranger who appears to be having a secret meeting in the ruins of an old chapel. As the boys attempt to eavesdrop, they overhear a conversation in German that suggests espionage activities and a plot related to submarine operations. Their investigation leads to their capture by a pair of German spies, setting the stage for a thrilling adventure on the high seas as they are taken aboard a German submarine. The opening portion combines elements of friendship, intrigue, and impending danger, immersing the reader in an engaging tale of bravery amidst the perils of war.
