Summary

Adventurers, Ltd., was a band of Scouts, all tip-top chaps. they liked to challenge Scouts in neighbouring towns-just to see how good they were. Not one of the Associations they visited ever succeeded in beating Andy, Sam Dodds, Smithy, Fatty Leadfield and the rest, but some of the adventures that came along in the process nearly did! Andy and the haunted tower, for instance; and Dickie Goole and the crashed pilot on the mountain; and the dangerous adventure of the two men in the quicksand. Another first-rate Scouting story by this favourite author.
