Chapter 23 -- Girls, Too!<br />

The same elements can be found in the cellar beneath<br />

Rockingdown Hall, where in The Rockingdown Mystery<br />

(1949), Barney comes across a hole behind a moving<br />

stone which leads to an underground stream, "black and<br />

gleaming." Men are at work, winching crates <strong>of</strong><br />

smuggled goods along the channel.<br />

We've had the The Island <strong>of</strong> Adventure, The Castle <strong>of</strong> Adventure and The Valley <strong>of</strong> Adventure.<br />

What's left?<br />

In The River <strong>of</strong> Adventure (1955), Syria, Jack, Phillip, Dinah and Lucy-Ann sail down the River <strong>of</strong><br />

Abencha to rescue Bill and Mrs. Cunningham who've been kidnapped by the wicked Raya Uma.<br />

The children discuss stalactites and stalagmites. Their indigenous guide saves them from certain<br />

death when their craft careens toward a waterfall, but veers underground at the last moment.<br />
