Other editions of book Dan Carter and the River Camp

Dan Carter and the other Den 2 Cubs enjoy having meetings at their cave near the river's shore. During a treasure hunt one evening, Dan and Brad discover a box containing a strange code which has a mysterious reference to Skeleton Island. Dan and Brad also discover a young boy nearby unconscious on the beach. The boy reveals his name as Jacques but refuses to give any additional information about himself. The Cubs take care of Jacques that night, but the boy disappears the next day. Later, the coded message is stolen as well. Dan and Brad learn of fur thieves in the area and wonder if there can be any connection to Skeleton Island after they see an unfamiliar boat signaling near the island. The Cubs visit Skeleton Island on a camping trip, and while hiking see Jacques in the caretaker's house. The Cubs speculate that Jacques may be a prisoner on the island. Through a strange turn of events, Dan discovers the identities of the fur thieves and is forced to help them steal another fur shipment. After several exciting adventures, Dan and the Cubs help bring the thieves to justice, discover Jacques' true identity, and learn the secret of Skeleton Island.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt:“Unless a breeze springs up soon, we’ll be late for the Cub Scout meeting in the Cave,” Dan Carter complained.Sprawled in the drifting dinghy, the sandy-haired boy raised his eyes to the limp sail which hung in discouraged folds from the tall mast.“We’ve already missed the first part of it,” remarked Midge Holloway.A freckled youth of ten, he had draped himself pretzel-fashion over the boat’s bow. His skinny legs dangled a bare inch above the placid surface of the wide river.“What time is it anyhow?” he demanded.At the tiller of the sailboat, Midge’s father, Burton Holloway, snapped on his flashlight to see the dial of his wrist watch. An official “Den Dad” of Webster City Den No. 2, he frequently made river trips with the boys and allowed them to use his sailboat whenever they liked.
