Benson, Larry. Larry Benson appeared in a number of stories in The Rover in 1939 and 1940, beginning with “Pals of the Roaring Road” (The Rover, July 15, 1939).

Larry Benson is a “call-boy” for the railway in British Columbia. This means that his job is to summon train crews and do various odd jobs, but he always seems to find criminals and wrong-doing wherever he goes. Benson is assisted by Steeljaw, a huge, faithful, and unusually intelligent mastiff.
