| Summary | "Motor Matt in Brazil; or, Under The Amazon" by Stanley R. Matthews is a thrilling adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Motor Matt, a skilled young motorist known as "Mile-a-minute Matt," who embarks on a daring journey in a submarine called the Grampus, alongside his friends Dick Ferral and Carl Pretzel. They encounter various challenges, including a deadly cachalot (sperm whale) and dangerous foes, as they navigate the waters of South America and the Amazon. At the start of the narrative, Motor Matt and his crew are aboard the Grampus, heading towards the Amazon when they inadvertently collide with a cachalot, leading to a tense confrontation. As they successfully fend off this massive creature, they also contend with mysterious developments involving their new passenger, Ensign Glennie. The narrative then unfolds the tension surrounding a packet of crucial dispatches that have gone missing, hinting at deeper intrigue involving espionage and possible sabotage linked to a covert group of Japanese patriots. The opening sets up a fast-paced adventure filled with peril, camaraderie, and a journey into the heart of South America, promising readers an enjoyable escapade filled with action and suspense.
