| 520 | _a"Friend Island" by Francis Stevens is a novella written during the early 20th century, specifically in the time period surrounding World War I. This work falls into the category of adventure and speculative fiction, exploring themes of isolation, gender dynamics, and human connection. The unlikely story revolves around a strong female protagonist who shares her experiences after being shipwrecked on a seemingly deserted island. The narrative is told from the perspective of a seasoned sea-woman who recounts the tale of her survival after her ship, the "Shouter", explodes. She finds herself on a beautiful, desolate island where she discovers a warning message from a previous castaway named Nelson Smith. Initially, she enjoys the solitude of the island and forms a bond with the place, naming it Anita. Her peace is disrupted when she meets Nelson, an aeronaut who also crashed nearby. As they prepare to leave, Nelson's thoughtless behavior leads to the volcanic island's anger, causing a dramatic eruption. This experience teaches the sea-woman that true companionship requires respect and understanding, and ultimately leads her to reject Nelson in favor of preserving her dignity and connection to the island.
