Summary "Boy Scouts on Motorcycles; Or, With the Flying Squadron" by G. Harvey Ralphson is an adventure novel likely written during the early 20th century. The story focuses on a group of Boy Scouts who find themselves in China, where they are embroiled in a mission involving local intrigue and potential danger amid the backdrop of foreign tension. At the start of the novel, we meet four boys—Ned Nestor, Jimmie McGraw, Frank Shaw, and Jack Bosworth—who are waiting in a rundown apartment in Taku for a Secret Service operative who has yet to arrive with crucial information. The boys share their grievances about their current location compared to their beloved New York City and discuss their expectations of the mission ahead. As they prepare to head to Peking on their motorcycles, they grow increasingly suspicious of their surroundings, especially as peculiar events unfold, including tampered motorcycles and the presence of shady locals. The opening chapter sets an atmospheric tension, indicating that the boys must face challenges as they pursue their mission and navigate the complexities of a land foreign to them.
