| Summary | "Motor Matt's Queer Find; or, The Secret of the Iron Chest" by Stanley R. Matthews is a thrilling adventure fiction written in the early 20th century. The story follows Motor Matt, a young and daring motor enthusiast, alongside his friends Carl Pretzel and Dick Ferral, as they navigate a series of perilous situations connected to a mysterious iron chest. The trio's adventure begins as they fly their airship, the "Hawk", over Louisiana when they hear a cry for help, setting the stage for a tale filled with intrigue and danger. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the main characters aboard the "Hawk", who are on their way to New Orleans. As they search for a landing spot, they hear urgent calls for help coming from the bayou below. Upon landing, they discover an old voodoo woman, Yamousa, who has been captured and is under threat from a man named Whistler. The boys bravely intervene, but soon find themselves caught in a larger web of mystery involving the iron chest and a band of rogues. Carl and Motor Matt's encounters with Yamousa and the strange circumstances surrounding the chest hint at supernatural elements and a deeper conspiracy, setting up a riveting adventure that unfolds in the ensuing chapters.
