The Dreadnought Boys Aboard a Destroyer

"The Dreadnought Boys Aboard a Destroyer" by John Henry Goldfrap is an early 20th-century adventure story about two brave young sailors, Ned Strong and Herc Taylor, who are sent on a dangerous mission during a South American revolution. Before their voyage begins, the boys are tested when a foreign agent tries to trick them into betraying their country, but they prove their loyalty by refusing. This sets the stage for a thrilling journey on the destroyer "Beale," where they will face danger on the ocean and get caught up in the conflict in the Republic of Costaveza, showing their courage and friendship along the way.
