Summary "The Boy Aviators' Polar Dash; or, Facing Death in the Antarctic" by Captain Wilbur Lawton (the pseudonym of John Henry Goldfrap) is a fictional adventure novel likely composed in the early 20th century. The story centers on two brothers, Frank and Harry Chester, who are excitedly preparing for an expedition to the South Pole. Their journey is filled with a sense of adventure, scientific curiosity, and the promise of facing the unknown in the Antarctic wilderness. At the start of the novel, readers meet the Chester boys as they rush to board the polar ship, Southern Cross, after their parent’s initial resistance to their expedition is overcome by their enthusiasm and arguments supporting the potential benefits of their scientific mission. They are joined by Captain Hazzard, an army officer, and other crew members preparing the ship for a challenging voyage. In the opening portion, the boys express their eagerness and excitement about their adventure, unaware of the mysterious and potentially treacherous events that await them, including the theft of plans and the presence of a possibly untrustworthy crew member. The plot introduces themes of exploration, camaraderie, and the scientific discovery that will likely unfold as the boys confront various obstacles during their expedition.
