Summary: "The Stowaway Girl" by Louis Tracy is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story primarily revolves around Iris Yorke, who defies her domineering uncle and societal expectations by stowing away on the ship Andromeda, seeking adventure and escape from an unwanted marriage to Mr. Bulmer, a man she despises. The plot unfolds with Iris navigating the complexities of ship life, her relationship with the crew, and the dangers that lurk both at sea and within the ship's command. At the start of the book, Iris Yorke's relationship with her uncle David Verity is introduced during a tense lunch where he pressures her to marry Bulmer for financial reasons, unveiling his dire circumstances as a ship owner. Distraught by this proposal and feeling trapped, Iris confides in herself about her thoughts on poverty versus marriage to a "horrid old man." After deciding to take control of her fate, she secretly boards the Andromeda, leading to unexpected encounters and challenges as she attempts to balance her independence with the need for protection on her perilous voyage. The beginning sets a foundation for both her character development and the broader themes of love, courage, and self-determination amidst evolving tensions and sea adventures.
