Description: From dustjacket: Mystery Marsh is a book that will satisfy the demands of even the most enthusiastic youthful seeker of adventure, and is packed from start to finish with excitement. The story commences with three school chums planning to explore a mysterious marsh during their school holidays. They intend to do this in the motor-boat which one of the boys has received as a present from his father. Very soon mysterious activities on the marsh at night attract the boys’ attention. Strange and suspicious movements are afoot, and, in true schoolboy fashion, the chums are soon hot on the trail of what turns out to be a gang of desperate crooks engaged in smuggling of a rather unusual kind. Assisted by a staunch and loyal old fisherman, the chums eventually succeed in round up the crooks, much to the honour of their school and the satisfaction of their parents.
