About this book

In a New York clubroom one April evening, seven Boy Scouts from the Black Bear, Wolf and Panther Patrols debate joining Lieutenant Gordon of the United States Secret Service on a trip to the Canal Zone. Ned Nestor and Jimmie McGraw are among them, fresh from adventures in Mexico. Chapter titles point to a plot against the Gatun Dam, a stolen emerald necklace, nights in the jungle and a rescue. George Harvey Ralphson, writing as Scout Master, had earlier published Boy Scouts titles set in Mexico, the Philippines and the Northwest.
