| Summary | "Dan Merrithew" by Lawrence Perry is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around Dan Merrithew, a young tugboat mate, who is navigating both the treacherous waters of the sea and his own emotions. It weaves themes of adventure, bravery, and personal growth, set against a backdrop of maritime challenges and the spirit of the holiday season. The opening of the narrative introduces us to Dan Merrithew during a harsh night at sea as he ponders a girl he met earlier aboard a yacht, the "Veiled Ladye," who captivated his attention. As he continues his duties on the tugboat "Hydrographer," we see glimpses of his character, marked by strength and a sense of humor, as he grapples with his thoughts of the girl and the idea of fate. A shift in emotion occurs as Christmas approaches, leading him to consider what it really means to celebrate the holiday spirit, ultimately culminating in a decision to sacrifice his personal desires to help those in need, showcasing his intrinsic nobility and willingness to support others at any cost.
