Fred Fenton on the Crew; Or, The Young Oarsmen of Riverport School

In the sunny town of Riverport, Fred Fenton is the go‑to boy for any sporting venture, especially the school’s rowing crew that glides along the lazy Mohunk River each summer. With his quick wit and steady hand on the oar, Fred finds joy in friendly competition and the camaraderie of his classmates, especially his lanky friend Bristles Carpenter, whose wild hair is as famous as his easygoing nature.

When Bristles arrives one morning looking unusually worried, he confides that his wealthy aunt has accused him of stealing a set of prized opals that vanished under mysterious circumstances. Determined to clear his friend’s name, Fred plunges into a light‑hearted investigation that leads the boys from a bustling boat club meeting to a quirky canoe chase and a series of clues hidden among the river’s banks. Their adventure blends teamwork, clever problem‑solving, and the simple thrills of a boy‑hood summer, promising listeners a lively tale of loyalty and youthful daring.
