The Boy Chums Series
By WILMER M. ELY
In this series of remarkable stories by Wilmer M. Ely are described the
adventures of two boy chums--Charley West and Walter Hazard--in the
great swamps of interior Florida and among the cays off the Florida
Coast, and through the Bahama Islands. These are real, live boys, and
their experiences are well worth following.
THE BOY CHUMS ON INDIAN RIVER;
or, The Boy Partners of the Schooner "Orphan."
In this story Charley West and Walter Hazard meet deadly rattlesnakes;
have a battle with a wild panther; are attacked by outlaws: their boat
is towed by a swordfish; they are shipwrecked by a monster manatee
fish, and pass safely through many exciting scenes of danger. This
book should be read first.

THE BOY CHUMS IN THE FOREST;
or, Hunting for Plume Birds in the Florida Everglades.
The story of the boy chums hunting the blue herons and the pink and
white egrets for their plumes in the forests of Florida is full of
danger and excitement. In this story is fully told how the chums
encountered the Indians; their battles with the escaped convicts; their
fight with the wild boars and alligators; and many exciting encounters
and escapes. This is the third story of the boy chums' adventures.
THE BOY CHUMS' PERILOUS CRUISE;
or, Searching for Wreckage on the Florida Coast.

stranded and cargoes washed ashore. The boy chums passed through many
exciting scenes, their conflicts with the Cuban wreckers; the loss of
