Résumé

"The Motor Boys on the Pacific" by Clarence Young follows the thrilling adventures of three inseparable friends, Jerry Hopkins, Ned Slade, and Bob Baker. The story begins with the boys receiving the unfortunate news that their beloved motorboat, the Dartaway, has been destroyed in a train wreck. Undeterred, they decide to embark on a new adventure, this time across the continent to the Pacific coast. Their journey is sparked by an invitation from the Seabury family, whom they met during a previous adventure in Florida, and a letter from their old friend, Professor Uriah Snodgrass. The professor, a passionate collector of rare specimens, invites the boys to join him on a quest to California in search of the elusive horned toad. The boys eagerly accept, especially after learning that their school term has been unexpectedly delayed due to repairs. As they prepare for their journey, they encounter various challenges, including a thrilling automobile race against their rival, Noddy Nixon. Despite the obstacles, the boys remain determined to reach California and reunite with the Seaburys. The narrative is filled with excitement, humor, and the spirit of adventure, capturing the essence of youthful exploration and friendship.
