| Summary |
"The Ocean Wireless Boys and the Naval Code" by Captain Wilbur Lawton is a fictional adventure novel written in the early 20th century. It follows the escapades of a group of young boys, specifically Jack Ready, Billy Raynor, and their friend Noddy Nipper, as they navigate a series of adventures involving sailing, espionage, and encounters with unscrupulous characters. The narrative introduces themes of bravery, friendship, and the excitement of exploring the unknown, particularly within the context of maritime activities. At the start of the story, the trio is enjoying a sailing getaway on the "Curlew", reflecting on their past adventures and the exciting times ahead. Their peaceful outing is abruptly interrupted by the aggressive intentions of Donald Judson and his father, who attempt to intentionally collide with their boat. Despite their best efforts to steer clear, a collision ensues, resulting in a hole on the "Curlew"'s side and leaving the boys in a precarious situation. As they struggle to keep their yacht afloat, it becomes evident that their easy vacation is about to unfold into yet another thrilling escapade, setting the stage for a series of challenges and dangerous encounters in the chapters to come.
