"The Boys of the 'Puffin': A Sea Scout Yarn" by Percy F. Westerman is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a group of Sea Scouts and their deputy Scoutmaster, Peter Craddock, as they navigate various challenges involving sailing, camaraderie, and a mysterious smuggling plot. The boys exhibit resourcefulness and bravery, setting the stage for exciting interactions on the seas. The opening of the book introduces Peter Craddock, who is described as a Sea Scout engaged in fishing at Aberstour. He interacts with a stranger who inquires about the local scoutmaster, Theodore Grant, not knowing that he is connected to a smuggling operation. The chapter sets the tone for an adventurous narrative as the Scouts prepare for their time on the yacht, the "Puffin". The frustration caused by their scoutmaster's absence leads to tension that hints at upcoming adventures, with Craddock’s keen observations foreshadowing the unfolding plot regarding the “assistant” Scoutmaster. The atmosphere combines a sense of youthful exploration with the intrigue of a potential criminal scheme, ensuring readers' interest in how both elements will develop throughout the story.
