Summary "The Launch Boys' Cruise in the Deerfoot" by Edward Sylvester Ellis is an adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Alvin Landon, a courageous seventeen-year-old boy preparing for a future at West Point, who finds himself in perilous situations while navigating the wilds of Maine with his motorboat, the Deerfoot. Alongside his hapless yet amusing friend Mike Murphy, the book promises a mix of excitement and youthful camaraderie as they face potential dangers and embark on thrilling cruises. At the start of the book, Alvin is returning home through a dark stretch of woods when he feels unease due to an unknown figure seemingly following him. As he grapples with his fears, he encounters two suspicious individuals who cross his path. Moments later, a confrontation ensues where Alvin proves his mettle in a sudden fight against these potential attackers. Remarkably, he receives unexpected help from Mike Murphy, a new acquaintance who arrives just in time to assist. This initial encounter sets the tone for their burgeoning friendship and hints at future adventures and conflicts they might face while boating on the Deerfoot.
