"The Submarine Boys' Lightning Cruise" by Victor G. Durham is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a trio of adventurous young submariners—Captain Jack Benson, Hal Hastings, and their friend Eph Somers—as they navigate the dangerous but thrilling world of submarine warfare and technology. This installment focuses on their latest training exercises and encounters with rivals, setting the stage for a series of tests that could change their fortunes forever. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to the boys as they prepare for practical torpedo drills at a submarine shipyard. The tension builds around the dangers of handling explosives, and when the boys are interrupted by the return of a key character, it sets a slightly comedic tone. As they practice with their new submarine, the boys also learn of a fishing vessel that hasn't returned, leading them into an adventure that not only tests their skills but also introduces them to new challenges and potential rivalries, demonstrating their competence and camaraderie in the dangerous world they inhabit.
