"Ruth Fielding on Cliff Island; Or, The Old Hunter's Treasure Box" by Alice B. Emerson is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The book follows the adventurous and spirited protagonist, Ruth Fielding, along with her friends, as they navigate various challenges and mysteries. In this installment, the narrative centers around the wreck of a train, the ensuing rescue efforts, and a young man named Jerry Sheming, who has lost something significant on Cliff Island, where mysteries abound. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Ruth and her friends engaged in a routine task when a crisis emerges: the news of a train wreck at Applegate Crossing. As they rush to the scene to potentially help a friend aboard the train, they encounter Jerry Sheming, who has rescued another girl but is injured himself. The urgency of the situation heightens when a panther, escaped from a menagerie, threatens their safety. The opening establishes a backdrop of adventure with themes of bravery, friendship, and the spirit of community, setting the stage for Ruth's determination to uncover the secrets of Cliff Island as they all prepare for the challenges that lie ahead.
