A heavy fog pressed down upon the city of Washington. To the boy watching it from the vantage point of the window in the top floor of the apartment in which he stood, it spread as mysterious and as sodden as a flood, enveloping streets, parks, houses, indeed all but the tops of the highest structures, the domes and roofs of public buildings and spires of churches, and here and there a dark, drowned mass of foliage. The apartment stood on a height and as the boy looked he saw a glow in the east, followed quickly by thin banners of red and orange.

Autorenporträt
Captain Frank Cobb was an American author and journalist, best known for his adventurous fiction that captured the imagination of readers in the early 20th century. He gained recognition for writing stories filled with suspense, youthful energy, and the thrill of emerging technologies like aviation. Cobb's works often featured young protagonists navigating exciting and dangerous situations, reflecting the cultural fascination with progress and adventure of the era. His most notable work, An Aviator's Luck, or The Camp Knox Plot, embodies these themes, with a plot centered around a group of boys who become involved in a mystery involving wireless communication and potential danger. Cobb's writing reflects the values of his time, focusing on themes like friendship, responsibility, and the thrill of discovery. Despite the popularity of his works during his lifetime, much of Cobb's personal life remains obscure. He was particularly known for his ability to craft narratives that balanced adventure with deeper emotional undertones, resonating with readers seeking both excitement and thoughtfulness in their stories. His contributions continue to be a part of the literary heritage of early 20th-century American literature.
