"The Go Ahead Boys and the Racing Motor-Boat" by Ross Kay is a thrilling tale of four adventurous boys-Fred, John, Grant, and George-who embark on an exciting journey from Yonkers to the St. Lawrence River aboard a swift motor-boat named the Black Growler. The story begins with the boys leaving their families behind, eager to participate in a motor-boat race. Fred, the proud owner of the Black Growler, is confident in the boat's capabilities, despite the teasing from his friends about the competition they might face, particularly from a rival boat, the Varmint II. As they travel up the Hudson River, the boys encounter various challenges and engage in light-hearted banter, showcasing their camaraderie and youthful spirit. The narrative is filled with humorous exchanges, particularly about Grant's penchant for sharing facts about canals, which he insists are essential knowledge for their journey. The boys' adventure takes a turn when John gets separated from the group in Poughkeepsie, only to rejoin them later with tales of his own adventure aboard the Varmint II. The journey continues through the Erie Canal, where the boys experience the novelty of canal locks and the beauty of the surrounding landscape. However, the trip is not without its mishaps, as Grant discovers that his bag has been mistakenly swapped with another, leading to a series of humorous and frustrating events. The boys' adventure is further complicated by a sudden storm, forcing them to seek shelter in a rustic tavern filled with rowdy canal workers. Throughout the story, the boys' friendship and determination are tested, but their enthusiasm for the upcoming race and the thrill of the journey keep them moving forward. The narrative captures the essence of youthful adventure, the excitement of competition, and the joy of exploring new places with friends.
