| 520 | _a"The Young Wireless Operator—Afloat" by Lewis E. Theiss is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. It tells the story of Roy Mercer, a young wireless operator on the steamship Lycoming, as he embarks on his maiden voyage after the World War. The book explores themes of adventure, self-reliance, and the challenges that come with youth as Roy navigates his new responsibilities aboard the ship, all while dealing with realities of the bustling city life he momentarily leaves behind. At the start of the story, Roy Mercer is traveling to New York City to take up his new position as the wireless operator on the Lycoming. As he reflects on the changes he has undergone since the war, including the death of his father and his struggles to support his mother, he is filled with enthusiasm and determination to succeed in his new role. Upon arrival, he faces immediate challenges, particularly with his ship's commanding officer, Captain Lansford, who is gruff and dismissive of Roy's youth and inexperience. The early chapters establish Roy's character, resilience, and setting the stage for his professional journey and personal growth on the high seas, where he will undoubtedly face both opportunities and dangers.
